Double Tap Canada

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. Michael explains the challenges of scaling the app to different countries due to variations in pedestrian signals and infrastructure. He also addresses the decision not to release the app on Android, citing limitations in AI processing on different Android devices compared to Apple's neural engine.
