👇 We built Spectra, an AI-powered App—coming soon to iOS —that sees the world for you, designed for people with vision loss.
What if your phone could detect obstacles, describe your surroundings, identify/track objects, and guide you — all hands-free?
What began as a personal project for two blind friends evolved into a full-scale app after I met Kimberly, a 53-year-old living with Usher’s Syndrome.
Spectra is a next-gen visual intelligence system powered by 100+ computer vision tools, GPT-4o, Azure Cloud, and Swift for iOS, with more updates to come. There’s nothing like this on the market that focuses on bringing the full power of AI to people with vision loss.
📺 Watch the demo (@1:53) to see Spectra identify, describe, and relay real-time information about the world—using nothing more than a Wi-Fi connection.
More features:
- 🔍 97.5% accuracy across 50,000+ objects
