Scene understanding
Camera frames are interpreted as a whole scene, so nearby surfaces, openings, and obstacles can become useful context.
AI Vision Assistant · iOS
Guide Pup turns camera-based scene understanding into concise spoken guidance, haptic cues, and optional voice controls—so useful context can arrive without taking over.
Assistive guidance only. Keep using your mobility aid, trained guide, and personal judgment.
Perception → context
Guide Pup is designed around a simple idea: the best guidance is not the most information. It is the right information, at the right moment, in a form that does not demand visual attention.

Spatial understandingOne scene becomes a calm, directional cue.
Concept visualization · not a live camera feedCamera frames are interpreted as a whole scene, so nearby surfaces, openings, and obstacles can become useful context.
Concise cues prioritize what matters now. Ask for more detail when you want a richer description.
Optional haptics reinforce key guidance states without adding another screen to watch.
A quieter interaction loop
The phone stays simple. Analysis lives behind the experience, while the user keeps control of when guidance starts, how much detail it provides, and when it stops.
Guide Pup captures a lightweight camera frame while a guidance session is active.
The backend analyzes path clearance, surfaces, obstacles, and scene context with conservative safety rules.
The app speaks a short movement cue, adds haptic feedback, and stays ready for bounded voice commands.

Hands-free when it helps
A bounded voice command set keeps the interaction predictable. Buttons remain available whenever voice control is not the right choice.
Safety is a boundary, not a badge
Guide Pup provides assistive context. It does not replace a cane, trained guide, orientation and mobility skills, or personal judgment—and it is not an emergency response service.
Low-confidence, invalid, or high-hazard analysis is designed to fall back to a STOP cue so the user can pause and reorient.
Speech rate, description detail, haptics, repeat, and stop controls help each person shape how guidance feels.
Camera frames are sent to the Guide Pup backend and may be processed by third-party AI providers. The public policy pages explain the current behavior.
An Atrak project
Guide Pup is an iOS-first React Native project with a cloud-backed vision pipeline, native voice control, haptic feedback, and a release path focused on real-device evidence.
