blind-compass

Blind Compass is an iPhone app that allows blind people to hear their heading, thus allowing to navigate more easily. Blind Compass represents current heading as audible signal, and it also announces when heading crosses direct lines of North, East, South or West. Blind Compass also offers to lock a certain direction, and in this mode it will count distance travelled in that direction. (by mltony)

    I am blind and I developed this auditory compass for blind people that communicates your heading as two tones - musical interval between them encodes your heading. It helps white cane users not to get confused in space or walk straight across large open space by locking heading. It also makes me look like a lunatic, because I put iPhone into phone holder that I sawn to my hat to provide most accurate heading information.

    The app is free, but I have to pay for Apple Developer subscription to keep the app in the app store.
