Credentials be damned - that's not the point. When you say "blind people will just get directions from the front desk"

You need to really understand - that isn't what they want. Same for anybody else that has what is commonly referred to as a disability (which I and many others call superpowers)

Do you know what these people want (and deserve)? Independence.

With independence, comes dignity. The feeling of having to rely on others just to exist is a tough pill to swallow for many - it's why I made this tech MIT open source.

But, more important than the money, is giving their patients with superpowers their independence. Period.

That's why I built this (and made it free to license)
