Nazar is a navigation app designed specifically to support visually impaired individuals in their short-distance journeys. It helps users confidently enter buildings, cross thresholds, and understand their immediate surroundings through clear, concise visual feedback that is accessible using screen reader tools such as TalkBack.

Unlike traditional GPS apps that focus on large-scale directions, Nazar is built to assist with the most critical moments—such as identifying an entrance, locating a ramp, or recognizing an obstacle like a step. These small transitions often pose the biggest challenges, and Nazar helps users bridge that gap with clarity and care.

Using the phone’s camera, Nazar lets users take a quick photo of their surroundings. The app processes the image using smart recognition and spatial understanding, then provides text-based step-by-step instructions. For visually impaired users, these outputs can be easily read aloud using accessibility services available on Android devices.

Interacting with Nazar is simple: tap to take a photo, double-tap to repeat instructions, and long press to return to the camera. Everything is optimized for screen reader compatibility, ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience.

Nazar was developed with India in mind—a country where uneven paths, informal layouts, and a lack of standardized signage can make short-distance travel unpredictable. Whether in busy metro areas or quieter neighborhoods, Nazar adapts to diverse environments to offer meaningful support.

The app is built to be lightweight, requiring minimal data and functioning reliably even with low internet connectivity. No personal data is stored unnecessarily, and the entire experience prioritizes privacy and user control.

Note: While Nazar does not include built-in voice output, its text instructions are fully compatible with Android screen readers such as TalkBack, enabling audio-based access through the user’s accessibility settings.
