DOT GO – Dot Go helps the visually impaired to navigate the world, locate objects and automate daily tasks. The software uses the iPhone LiDAR sensor to measure the distance to objects and connects them with internal and external actions, from sound and vibration to interacting with the web, other apps, and external devices. Tasks that once required many different, not always freely available apps, can now be performed with the aid of one single platform.
