Evaluation of ARCORE library capabilities for determining the distance to objects in the frame

This research investigates the potential of ARCore for developing navigation systems specifically designed for low-speed mobility scenarios, such as aiding navigation for visually impaired individuals. Our evaluation of the application's performance revealed that the current measurement accuracy and error margin of up to 7.5% are acceptable for these conditions. A navigation system utilizing ARCore could greatly enhance spatial orientation by providing real-time distance information to objects and obstacles. Integration with audio prompts and tactile feedback promises an intuitive navigation experience, enabling visually impaired users to navigate independently and safely both indoors and outdoors. These findings highlight ARCore's potential to improve quality of life through accessible and effective navigation solutions.
