KPN (EN)
As of today, a KPN water taxi is sailing on the Rotterdam Maas. Currently with a captain, but with the ambition to allow the boat to sail autonomously in the long term, on the KPN network.
See with your ears. It’s possible. Start-up Dreamwaves is experimenting at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven with an app that navigates you to your destination based on smart sounds.
Dreamwaves has developed an intuitive navigation app to guide people through traffic simply by following sounds. The start-up is working hard and needs users to feed back their experiences and to process them in the further development of the app, which is called waveOut.
High Tech Campus Eindhoven will offer that possibility. The aim is to make the campus more accessible for the blind and partially sighted, as well as for users who do not have a visual impairment. They can also easily move from one building to another using the app.
