Rooaa

An experimental web application that aims to help the blind navigate their surroundings using voice generated messages based on detected objects and their distance using only the mobile camera / web cam.

Getting Started

• Clone the repo to your local machine.

• Install Docker and ensure it is running

  • Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows
  • Docker Engine for Linux
  • Additional step for Linux: install docker compose as well.

• Install Make if you're on Windows. OSX already has it installed. Linux will tell you how to install it (i.e., sudo apt-get install make)

• Run make run and then navigate to https://[YOUR IPV4 ADDRESS]:5000/

  • To get your IPV4 Address run ipconfig in cmd if you're on Windows or ifconfig if you're on Linux

• Click Advanced then proceed to unsafe The warning is because we are using a dummy SSL context in order to use https to be able to access the camera feed.
  Note: Dense service has quite a high inital loading time (60 seconds) as we are currently running on the CPU but it should function normally after this
