Describe surroundings

An AI assistant that describes your surroundings

Ask with your voice about what's in front of you and Ariadne Sense describes your surroundings in real time — briefly, clearly and safely.

How it works

The app continuously analyzes the camera image and recognizes where you are — at home, outdoors or near the street. It always checks for hazards first, then describes what matters most.

Answers are short and structured: first the object, then its position (left or right), the distance and — when it matters — the height. So you instantly know what is where, without a flood of detail.

Three steps

Point the camera

Hold the phone in front of you. You can also enable automatic mode to have the app comment on changes.

Ask with your voice

Hold the button and ask about what's in front of you or what you're holding.

Hear the answer

The assistant replies aloud in real time.

Example answers

This is what the prompts sound like while moving:

  • Car on the left, nearby.
  • Step down on the right, very close.
  • Path straight ahead.
  • Door on the left, within reach.

Who it's especially for

For blind people who need confident, quick information about their surroundings, and for low-vision users when sight falls short in difficult conditions.
