ToVoir: Beyond the Vision

ToVoir is an innovative iOS application designed to enhance accessibility for visually impaired individuals, leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide safe and reliable navigation. This app, created in Swift using ARKit, UIKit, CoreML, and Apple Maps, includes features tailored to guide users with minimal reliance on screen interaction.

ToVoir utilizes ARKit with FocusNode to detect floor surfaces and generate paths, while the YOLO v3 ML model aids in real-time object detection, alerting users of nearby obstacles. The app employs Apple MapKit for accurate path guidance through voice commands, live location access, and haptic feedback, creating a truly immersive experience. SmartHitTest, speech recognition, and haptics add further layers of sensory guidance, making it easy for users to navigate safely.

The app has been designed for seamless use with iPhone buttons alone, eliminating the need for screen touch interactions, making ToVoir an invaluable tool for visually impaired users.
