Technological advancement parallels accessibility in its many facets. With this in mind, there is a wealth of potential in improving accessibility for people with disabilities. Memory loss affects various aspects of ones life, from navigation to productivity and education. The limitation of navigation is addressed in Denote.
Denote is a proposed app to help memory-impaired people regain control over certain daily tasks through a virtual guide system.
Using augmented reality, people can see clear directional
indicators, familiar locations, and guides to the places they need
to go. The ability for one to navigate through their house, their
neighborhood, or even important buildings knowing they have a
support system in thier pocket will make them safer and happier
that they can take control of the tasks in their life.
Using augmented reality, users will be able to see virtual
arrows marking directions on a path and signs for notable
locations, including rooms or sections of a building like a
hospital or library. These locations can be logged, mapped,
and saved for the user to select when needed. A designated
caretaker can set important locations for the user and even
assign a location to the users phone remotely.
recurring activities can be created, saved, and easily selected when needed
if a place is more important than a specific activity, saved locations can also be used
