StreetReaderAI is a new prototype that makes street view imagery accessible to blind and low-vision users through real-time, context-aware AI and inclusive navigation controls. While interactive streetscape tools are widely available, screen readers cannot interpret street view images due to the lack of alt text. StreetReaderAI leverages multimodal AI and advanced image understanding to generate descriptive, real-time audio feedback, enabling users to virtually explore environments. This innovation aims to make services like Google Street View—featuring over 220 billion images across 110+ countries—accessible to visually impaired individuals, offering immersive auditory experiences of streetscapes. By redefining how users interact with digital maps, StreetReaderAI opens new possibilities for independent navigation, route previewing, and remote exploration, promoting inclusivity in virtual navigation and enhancing accessibility in everyday mapping tools.
