Testimonials
“I had a good experience throughout the ObstaX beta trial and found the short-press and long-press query features most useful for identifying objects, understanding my surroundings, and asking other questions. I would recommend it to other users as an additional assistive device to support daily life.”

“The ObstaX Mini is an easy-to-use device suitable for everyone. One feature I particularly appreciate is its ability to announce the bus service number at the bus stop. While the function did not perform reliably in its early stages, I believe that with further refinement it has the potential to become a highly valuable tool for the blind community when navigating public buses.”
