Dot Go. The first object interaction app for the visually impaired.

As a blind and visually impaired person, it’s challenging to enter unfamiliar environments. Objection detection apps can identify objects but fail when it comes to interacting with these objects in a meaningful way.

Dot Go is the first object interaction app. Which means that it not only detects objects in the environment but also connects them to actions. These actions could be internal actions like sounds and vibration; and also external actions in other apps, websites, and even smart home devices. For example: A bus stop sign could trigger open the public transportation app to buy the right ticket. Any object can be connected to any action, opening up infinite possibilities.

By leveraging open-source computer vision models and the camera sensors to detect distance, Dot Go serves as a toolkit for accessibility. More than an app, it’s a platform, allowing everyone to customize for objects, locations, and needs, creating a growing library of use cases curated by users, institutions, and brands.

In 2021, Dot Go received additional funding for development as a part of the LAC Deep Tech Exchange Program. Launched in 2022 as a free iOS app, it is being used by thousands of users, brands, and organizations.
