In order to enhance the perception of indoor and unfamiliar environments for the blind and visually-impaired, we introduce the PERCEPT system that supports a number of unique features such as: a) Low deployment and maintenance cost; b) Scalability, i.e. we can deploy the system in very large buildings; c) An on-demand system that does not overwhelm the user, as it offers small amounts of information on demand; and d) Portability and ease-of-use, i.e., the custom handheld device carried by the user is compact and instructions are received audibly.
为了增强盲人和视力障碍者对室内及陌生环境的感知，我们推出了PERCEPT系统，该系统具备多项独特功能，例如：a) 低部署和维护成本；b) 可扩展性，即我们能够在非常大型的建筑中部署该系统；c) 按需提供信息的系统，不会给用户造成负担，因为它按需提供少量信息；d) 便携性和易用性，即用户携带的定制手持设备小巧紧凑，且能以语音方式接收指令。
