_Navigation for visually impaired people The BRAINOVI is a Braille navigation map that uses a combination of verbal instructions and touch display, to help a blind person travel alone. All he needs to do is ‘speak’ his destination into the device and wait for a 3-D map to pop-up, giving him a ‘feel’ of his route. Corresponding verbal directions are relayed to the user via a Bluetooth earpiece, thus guiding him to his destination. The overall effect is to give the user a sense of freedom while traveling alone, without depending upon a companion.

BRAINOVI is a navigation for visually impaired people, which was awarded the KOREAN DESIGN EXHIBITION special selection of the KOREA’s top design competitions.
