aipoly app

Developed at Singularity University by the Italian 22 years old Alberto Rizzoli and by Marita Cheng, 26 years Aipoly is an app dedicated to blind people.

What is Aipoly

It is a personal smart assistant Ethat allows blind people or visually impaired to know what is around them, through simple photos and an excessive audio output . After the snapshot, the image is charged on the app server and is tagged and studied. Then, the result is given to the user as text or audio.

Therefore Aipoly, allows people with visual deseases to reconstruct imagesa lot more detailed and faithful to reality

To whom is addressed Aipoly? To 285 million of blind people and visually impaired in the world, that, in short times, can come back to " see" the world around them and have again a movement authonomy.

"We thought that, creating an algorithm capable of drawing the images of what is around them " explains Alberto" the user would have at his disposal an innovative and effective guide . Each user would recognize if there are obstacles alonlg the street ( statues, bushes, fences, trees or other impediment on the way) becoming more independent.In this way he would not have to count necessarily on other people. " 

Waiting for official tests ,Alberto e Marita involved more than one hundred blind people in developping of their project.  and, thanks to their positive sensations,the app reached an high dvelopping level " but, as all innovations in this sector, it will take a lot of tieme to reach more important goals".
