EyeGuide Vision: An App that helps the visually impaired move around using just their phone

Since you mentioned the app uses LIDAR, does that mean it will only work on the Pro models? It sounds interesting and I'd love to give it a go, but I have a 16E.

Hi. A couple of things here. Firstly, I've been in many situations where, if I'd had my phone in my hand, it would probably have been knocked out of my hand. Also, a blind person must have a mobility aid too, technology cannot safely replace a cane or a dog, so that means no spare hands for anything else, like operating crossings, sorting bus tickets and passes or whatever. I've also heard of plenty of situations where people, including blind people, have had phones stolen from their hands in public places, particularly when it's crowded like at bus stops. Also, most journeys, for me at least, involve public transport, and so many of these apps are based around walking only, or walking or driving. Rather than a purely on device app, what I need is something that more accurately does what Wewalk tries to do, as in be a ble to give me turn by turn instructions, plus feedback on my bus or train arrival time and when to get off, all while in my pocket, not using the camera. I need it to be able to tell me what bus is approaching my stop too, and be inteligent enough to recalculate the journey if a different bus than scheduled turns up, that still gets me to the stop I need. Honestly, Google Maps is more help than any of the specialist apps for journeys at this point. I know laniards are a thing, but they are of limited use when it's pouring with rain. I'm saying this to say, I hope you can bring something different to this very crowded field, something that goes beyond the sighted thought that technology can do everything, because, honestly, it can't, I'll always need physical feedback about my environment, whatever technology can add.
