One good option is Be My Eyes. The app connects people who are blind or have low vision with sighted volunteers and businesses through live video and AI. It's got features like AI-generated photo descriptions and a directory of accessible services, but the idea is to help with daily living and navigating situations. The app is free for individuals, but can be customized for businesses that want to offer better customer service.
Another interesting option is PingPath. It's an AI-based navigation system geared specifically for indoor navigation, using spatial audio, LiDAR and AI to help people locate and avoid objects. It also has voice prompts for general navigation, so people can get around more independently and with more confidence in unfamiliar areas.
If you want a more conversational AI assistant, VoiceGPT takes a different approach. The Android app lets you use voice commands to interact with AI engines like ChatGPT, so it's good for people with visual impairments or other conditions that make it hard to type. It supports multiple languages and has other features like OCR support and integration with other AI tools.
