Podcast Summary:
For those who are blind or visually impaired, detecting and avoiding unwanted obstacles can be a challenge at times. A new device, called the biped and developed by biped AI, aims to create a frictionless traveling experience for blind and visually impaired users around the world.
Worn as a portable smart harness with multi-directional cameras, the biped combines the power of obstacle detection, GPS services, and scene descriptions, giving users a complete technological travel toolbox.
Join Blind Abilities podcast host Simon Bonenfant in the virtual studio, as he speaks with biped AI Co-founder and CEO Maël Fabien, to learn more about what the Biped can do for you!
From the Biped Website: “biped is a smart harness, worn on shoulders, that helps you detect obstacles and get GPS instructions with AI. Comes in 2 versions: biped Pro, and Pro Plus.
Warns you with sounds.”
