NOA Mobility Harness - Navigation Obstacle Detection and AI description by Biped | Epic A11y Podcast

Biped is working on a new mobility device for the blind and visually impaired called NOA. This stands for Navigation, obstacle detection, and AI. You wear it around your shoulders - it has a quality camera module on one side and a high performance AI computer. In this episode, I interview Maël Fabien, one of the cofounders of Biped to do a deep dive into the device.
