CLUSTER NAVIGATION-AUDIO-WEB · 22 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-05-22

Assistive navigation for visual impairments

This cluster comprises mobile and web apps that assist visually impaired and blind users with navigation, object recognition, and real-time audio feedback. The dated history is thin: one or two entries per year from 2018 to 2024, then a slight increase with three entries in October 2025 and two in May 2026. All traction leaders — ObjectDetectionBlind, VoiceVista: Blind Navigation, and HEARBRIDGE-AI — report zero stars, so no product has meaningful traction to date.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
