Description

In this episode of Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the OKO Mobility App, designed to assist with pedestrian crossings. The app, previously available in the U.S., Japan, Spain, and Belgium, is now launching in Canada on July 1st. The founder of the OKO Mobility App, Michael Janssen, joins the show to discuss the app's features, including pedestrian signal recognition and navigation assistance. The app uses AI to interpret pedestrian signals and provide audio and haptic feedback to users.
