| contents | <p>EchoNav is a freely shared blueprint for an indoor navigation system designed for blind, partially sighted, Deaf, Deafblind, and non-disabled users. It uses perceptually adaptive audio cues, haptic feedback, and infrastructure-free sensing to deliver respectful, inclusive, and screen-free guidance through complex spaces. The system adapts to user speed, avoids masking key sounds, and ensures haptic/audio equivalence. With no reliance on proprietary hardware or speech output, EchoNav provides a foundation for ethically grounded, perceptually intelligent navigation—usable across assistive, public, and professional domains.</p> |
