Blind and severely visually impaired people are highly dependent on other people and service animals to complete day to day tasks. Even with the advancement of technology, feasible products have not been developed to help them live independent lives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are 39 million people worldwide who are blind. In certain parts of the world, service animals are not widely available. For example, in China, there is one guide dog for every 85 000 visually impaired people. Visually impaired people struggle in indoor spaces where navigation tools like GPS fail and service animals might not be welcomed. Furthermore, traditional tools for visually impaired individuals do not offer any value in environments like malls were visually store fronts and logos are required for navigation. The current solution for the visually impaired is to either rely on someone else for assistance or avoid malls altogether.
