Walker Buddy

WalkerBuddy is an application that improves the accessibility of travel for blind people to get around from Point A to Point B. In order to do this, the user triggers a prompt at the start of the application and orally states where they want to go. Based on the coordinates of the phone, the application calculates how to get to that location safely with the use of Google Maps along with the camera that is attached to the user's glasses to detect interfering objects.
