Inspiration
Guiding Eyes for the Blind estimates that “there are approximately 10,000 guide dog teams currently working in the United States. Another frequently cited statistic is that only about 2% of all people who are blind and visually impaired work with guide dogs.” According to nfb.org, there are 7,675,600 people are blind in state.
What it does
This application is reminding the user about how much distance there is between the recognized object and user themselves.
How we built it
with the realitykit and ARkit, we can meassure in realworld distance with just a camera.
Challenges we ran into
picking up ARkit and RealityKit are basically learning to code in a brand new environment, because all the positioning changed when it comes to 3D. object recognition model does not recognize walls, pillar or stains at the moment. as a result, changing the model to pinning an object in front and calculate the distance based on the camera position.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
first time building AR application, can put object in AR and can calculate the distance between camera and placed object.
What we learned
Learnt how to use ARKit and realityKit, should probably go with unity with camera input becuase 3d objects are available already
What's next for objectDistanceAlert
train a machine learning model that can recognize objects like wall and stairs, to build out what the application was intented at the begining
