Nino
(2025)
An Android navigation assistant for visually impaired users. Using on-device computer vision with a quantized MobileNet SSD model, it detects people and household objects in real-time from the live camera feed.
Each detected object is placed into directional zones (left, center, right) and proximity is estimated from bounding box size. The app then speaks natural navigation instructions like "chair on your left, move right" using Android TextToSpeech.
Completely offline with no cloud dependency. Built in Java with TensorFlow Lite, featuring smart speech pacing with cooldowns to prevent audio spam, and a voice toggle for quick mute control.
