THE CHALLENGE

The problem needed more than a surface-level design.

Misplaced everyday objects can become real barriers for people who are blind or have low vision. Many object-finding tools require advance labels, internet access, or difficult visual feedback.

THE APPROACH

Shape the workflow around what people actually need to do.

Within Reach lets someone say or type an item name, point their phone around the room, and receive clear spoken, visual, and haptic guidance toward supported objects.
