Navigation. Obstacles. AI. In a single device.
NOA is the mobility vest for people with blindness and low vision. It's worn on the shoulders, with wide-angle cameras on the left of your chest, a small computer on the right, and a battery behind your neck. The perfect complement to white canes and guide dogs.
NOA identifies dangers with beeps in headphones, provides navigation instructions, describes your surroundings and helps you find objects such as crosswalks, stairs, doors or empty seats. All of that in a compact, hands-free device.

What is NOA?
NOA stands for Navigation, Obstacle and AI. A complement to white canes and guide dogs.
Navigation: Get turn-by-turn GPS instructions in bone-conduction headphones. "In 20 meters, turn right at 2 o'clock."
Obstacle: Detect obstacles day and night, head or ground level with "beeps". Low hanging branches, holes, electric scooters, or traffic signs.
AI: Get descriptions of your surroundings, hands-free, using AI. And find objects like doors, benches, stairs or crosswalks.
NOA works day and night. Its cameras have night vision and can see in the dark. The device has the same field of view as the human eye.
NOA is lightweight (1kg or 2 lbs) and can even be worn on top of a backpack. Batteries last up to 6 hours in continuous use.
