PHINIX (Perceptive Helper with Intelligent Navigation and Intuitive eXperience) is a wearable system that helps people who are visually impaired or blind in perceiving their surroundings. PHINIX uses AI cameras to visualize the environment in three dimensions, analyze the scene using Artificial Intelligence (AI), and communicate with the user using audio and/or haptic feedback.

PHINIX is developed by Ximira, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to develop an innovative, wearable system that gives blind users more freedom to participate in all aspects of society. To learn more about our story, please visit Ximira's About Us page.
