Autour 1.8.0

Autour is an innovative eyes-free mobile system aimed at enhancing the spatial awareness of blind users. Unlike traditional systems that focus primarily on navigation between specific locations through explicit turn-by-turn directions, Autour employs spatialized audio to convey information typically accessible through visual cues, such as signage. This approach allows users to develop a richer understanding of their surroundings.

When users encounter a point of interest, they can access additional contextual details as needed, further enriching their experience.

For those interested in seeing the system in action, a demonstration video is available on their website: http://autour.mcgill.ca/en/.

Please note that the system requires an iPhone 4S or later.
