Surround Scanner is mainly designed for the visually impaired community. The purpose of our product is to facilitate the navigation of the world, by identifying objects and overall providing users a more in-depth description of the moment they are living in.

Surround Scanner allows an individual to point the device forward and receive an audio description of any object that the device is pointed towards whether that be in front, behind, or next to the user.

To facilitate the scanning process, that of which can start and be stopped by pressing a button, Surround Scanner will have multiple features to accommodate each user. Surround scanner will give users the ability to turn the volume down and up, slow down or speed up the audio description, as well as be able to choose how descriptive they want the audio to be. These features can all be used through the braille buttons on the straight flat surface of the front of the control.
