From where you are,
to where you need to be with
Navis is the first AI-powered companion for outdoor navigation - designed with and for people who are blind or have low vision. Powered by Google Gemini and real-time geospatial intelligence, Navis provides step-by-step walking guidance, spatial awareness, and contextual insights - exactly when you need them.
What is Navigation Assistance?
AI navigation assistance makes outdoor travel more accessible and intuitive for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Instead of relying on visual cues, Navis translates the environment into sound, speech, and haptic feedback, helping users understand their surroundings and move safely through them.
It’s not just navigation. It’s real-time understanding of the world around you.

Voices from the Community
"I miss going on walks, but I stopped after a few scares. If Navis can give me that confidence back, I'd be out the door tomorrow"
"If this (Navis) actually works, I could finally get to class on my own instead of calling my parents every morning. That would change everything for me."
"When I'm in a new place, it's basically impossible for me to get around. If Navis can guide me, even just around simple obstacles, that would be huge."
