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.”

Want to try the Biped for yourself? The team will be exhibiting at the CSUN Assistive Technology conference from March 18 through the 22nd in Anaheim California. Visit the Official Conference Webpage to learn more.
