Stay On Trails

Research project on AI navigation for blind and visually impaired people.

Stay On Trails is a research and pilot project by the Research Centre for Preventive Health Innovation of Erasmushogeschool Brussel. We investigate how AI, live remote assistance and smart walking routes can support people with a visual impairment when they get around in parks and public spaces.

We are currently looking for

Blind and visually impaired experts by experience

Try out the walking routes and help us improve the navigation, safety and user experience.

Try the routes

Route creators

Create accessible walking routes in parks and public spaces for future tests.

Help create routes

Remote assistants

Test remote guidance using live camera images, route information and audio feedback.

Become a remote assistant

Partners & organisations

We are looking to work with organisations in accessibility, mobility and wellbeing.

Stay On Trails in action: AI navigation with a visual arrow and an audio tone on a forest path.
AI guidance combines camera images, route information and audio signals to keep users on the path.
Getting started

How do you start?

Four steps take you from a first practice walk to a route you can walk on your own.

  1. Choose a walk

    Together with a sighted guide, choose a walk you like, for example starting from your home or from a location that is easy to reach by public transport.

  2. Create your route

    Use the Stay On Trails app to create a new route that matches your wishes, and save it.

  3. Practise the route

    Practise the route with your sighted guide until you feel familiar with it and can walk it on your own.

  4. Walk independently

    You can now walk the route independently. Need a hand after all? Your sighted guide can watch along remotely through the remote assistant system.
