Inspiration
Challenges in the field of indoor navigation, as well as the need for a smarter way for the visually impaired to navigate the modern world.
What it does
Internal navigation - it uses an accelerometer to bridge the gaps between imprecise GPS data. It tries to predict the position of the user where GPS does not provide sufficiently accurate location data.
How we built it
We used the maps API to locate the user.The Arduino driven system uses the sensor data to help in navigation
Challenges we ran into
Integrating the hardware and the maps syncing
Accomplishments that we're proud of
we got a fully functional prototype running
What we learned
We will be creating a crows sourcing platform and also make the code setup open source .
