We worked with Sony's LinkBuds headphones, which have a ring-type driver unit that does not block the ear.
Intuitive voice guidance based on the direction of the face while naturally listening to surrounding sounds.
The “LinkBuds” built-in sensor detects the direction of the “Eye Navi” user's face and reads out information from the direction in which the destination and surrounding facilities are actually located, providing an intuitive and easy-to-understand voice guidance.
In addition, the direction in which the voice reading is heard changes depending on which direction the detected obstacle is in the camera image.This gives a rough orientation of the obstacle.
In addition, the Quick Access setting allows the user to start the Eye Navi application and read out peripheral information with a simple tap on the headphone body.
The Eye Navi application can be used more conveniently without the need to operate the smartphone directly.
