Presentation Title:* Learn about OKO — the revolutionary new pedestrian
crossing app
ininPresentation Abstract:* AYES Inc. is developing an AI service to assist
blind and visually impaired to explore cities effortlessly. They have
developed a mobile application, called OKO, that assists blind and visually
impaired people to receive the status of the pedestrian traffic light and
helps you with not veering off when crossing the street. OKO doesn't
require any additional infrastructure to be installed so every traffic
light becomes accessible. OKO helps you cross the street with more ease and
confidence.

degree in Computer Science. Two years ago a blind family friend Kenny told
Willem about his challenges while navigating outdoors. It's at that point
he and his co-founders decided to build a solution for him and the 300M
blind and visually impaired people.
