AuraLink: Assistive Walk Companion

AuraLink is an innovative, human-centric application designed to revolutionize independent mobility and safety for visually impaired individuals. By seamlessly blending cutting-edge artificial intelligence with intuitive user-experience design, AuraLink acts as a proactive digital guide in complex urban environments. Core Features & Technical Architecture: 1. AssemblyAI Integration: Powered by robust speech intelligence models to process real-time environmental audio data, transcribe community voice anchors, and interpret hazard warnings accurately. 2. Smart Environmental Audio Zoom: Dynamically isolates and amplifies critical surrounding sounds (such as approaching vehicles or obstacles) while filtering out background noise. 3. Biometric Stress & Calm Monitor: Tracks user stress indicators during travel and automatically triggers calming audio guidance and breathing exercises when elevated stress is detected. 4. Haptic Feedback & Audio Alerts: Utilizes browser-based haptic patterns and synthesized voice outputs to deliver instant, non-visual cues, ensuring the user stays informed about their immediate path. 5. Community Anchors & Infrastructure: Allows users to upload voice notes about pathway hazards or parse architectural blueprints (.pdf) via the AI pipeline for enhanced route planning. Built with Streamlit, Python, custom CSS, and AssemblyAI, AuraLink bridges the gap between digital intelligence and physical accessibility, empowering users to walk with absolute confidence and safety.
