Wearable system and method for navigation

A system for visually impaired user movement guidance, comprising:

• a wearable device including a lanyard and an electronic pendant attached to the lanyard, wherein the electronic pendant includes a camera and a LIDAR sensor, each of the camera and the LIDAR sensor is configured to generate sensor data, the sensor data includes image data collected by the camera, and the sensor data includes LIDAR data collected by the LIDAR sensor;
• a mobile device including a device controller, wherein the device controller includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium in communication with the processor, wherein the device controller is programmed to:
• receive a destination request, wherein the destination request includes a destination;
• receive the sensor data from the wearable device;
• in response to receiving the destination request, establish communication between the mobile device and a remote system being remote from the visually impaired user;
• in response to establishing the communication between the mobile device and the remote system, transmit the sensor data to the remote system;
• and
• receive navigation instructions to reach the destination from the remote system,
• wherein a human operator being remote from the visually impaired user provides verbal navigation instructions to the visually impaired user for navigating along a route, the navigation instructions being outputted through a speaker of a first wearable device, the human operator being of the remote system.

A system for visually impaired user movement guidance, comprising:

• a first wearable device including a lanyard and an electronic pendant attached to the lanyard, wherein the electronic pendant includes a camera and a LIDAR sensor, each of the camera and the LIDAR sensor is configured to generate sensor data the sensor data includes image data collected by the camera, and the sensor data includes LIDAR data collected by the LIDAR sensor;
• a second wearable device, wherein the second wearable device is a first ring;
• a third wearable device, wherein the third wearable device is a second ring, wherein each of the first ring and the second ring are sized to tightly fit around a human finger, and each of the first ring and the second ring is configured to provide a haptic feedback;
• a mobile device including a device controller, wherein the device controller includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium in communication with the processor, wherein the device controller is programmed to:
• receive a destination request, wherein the destination request includes a destination;
• receive the sensor data from the first wearable device;
• in response to receiving the destination request, establish communication between the mobile device and a remote system being remote from the visually impaired user;
• in response to establishing the communication between the mobile device and the remote system, transmit the sensor data to the remote system;
• receive navigation instructions to reach the destination from the remote system;
• and
• command the first ring, the second ring, and the electronic pendant to provide the navigation instructions to reach the destination,
• wherein a human operator being remote from the visually impaired user provides verbal navigation instructions to the visually impaired user for navigating along a route, the navigation instructions being outputted through a speaker of the first wearable device, the human operator being of the remote system.
