The main objective of the SoundVision Project is to develop an innovative technology that will provide everyday assistance to visually impaired and blind people. Based on this new technology two types of hand-held devices will be developed. The devices will be fully functional when working offline and are going to incorporate an array of sensors, indoor and outdoor navigation, “ease-of-use” interface, etc.
The project will be implemented in cooperation with two Norwegian and Bulgarian partners. NRS is a research organization that will contribute to the development of the Mobile application and its specifications.
Synergia Foundation is an NGO that is working with visually impaired people and is going to ensure close contact between the developers, researchers and end – users.
The role of the other Norwegian partner – Adaptor AS is mainly related to the dissemination of information about the devices and end – users’ needs verification in a real environment.
Main outputs of the project are:
– An innovative technology/ solution developed;
– Two new jobs created.
