Project ATOM is Tinski Tech Inc.’s flagship project. It addresses the Orientation and Mobility problem of handling the Frustrating Final Fifty Feet. Current solutions such as Aira, BeMyEyes, and BlindSquare are helpful but fall short of the promise. Project ATOM proposes a chaperone solution that provides a virtual companion to each person who needs it. Using an interactive system first described in Martin Goldberg’s Doctoral Thesis, Tinski Tech intends to build a system that should help the BVI community deal with unfamiliar and constantly changing environments.
