With Artificial Intelligence models of hundreds of billions of parameters, AIBA transforms the way people with visual impairment, the elderly and everyone who needs support interacts with the world — opening more possibilities, more autonomy and more opportunities to participate fully.
Artificial Intelligence is not just technology — it is the possibility of creating opportunities that did not exist before. For those who lose their sight, for those who age, for those who need support, the world can become a more available place, richer in experiences and fuller of paths to explore.
Most live in countries without support infrastructure. AI enables scaling solutions at near-zero cost — democratising access to autonomy and opening possibilities at an unprecedented scale.
Population ageing creates new opportunities for assistive technology. Intelligent AI is a growing response that allows each person to participate fully in society.
Intelligent assistive technology opens professional opportunities for people whose talent today goes untapped — it includes, qualifies and creates value where there was previously little reach.
A city that explains itself, a museum that describes itself, a train that guides. With AI, every space becomes available — not by obligation, but because it is possible and enriches the experience of all.
In 2015, a Portuguese team created myEyes with a clear vision: that a blind person can reach any destination with the same confidence as anyone else. Ten years later, that vision grew with Artificial Intelligence. AIBA is not just more capable — it is genuinely intelligent.
"It is like a greatly enhanced cane, that will give great freedom to blind people." — AIBA team, founders of myEyes
iKi Technologies / Worldadrenaline — Torres Vedras, Portugal. GPS + BLE Beacons. Text-to-speech in mapped zones. Awarded in Portugal and the United Kingdom.
aibased.eu — Multi-product platform with three apps. Native integration with Claude (Anthropic). Conversational AI, camera vision, autonomous world exploration.
Each product creates new possibilities in the daily life of people with visual impairment — solving real challenges with cutting-edge technology.
10-channel spectral sensor that identifies and announces colours by voice, in real time. Compact hardware with battery. Includes musical mode — colours transformed into sounds.
Detects obstacles, scooters and objects via BLE in urban space before collision. For those moving on foot in the city, with or without a cane — more confidence at every step.
The complete indoor and outdoor navigation platform. GPS, BLE, NFC and QR combined with Claude AI for contextual narration, voice assistant and autonomous world exploration.
AIBA integrates the highest-performing language models available — trained with hundreds of billions of parameters. An AI that reasons, understands context and responds naturally, creating opportunities that until now were simply unreachable.
It all started with a simple question: how can a blind person know where a Braille sign is? The answer gave rise to technology recognised from Lisboa to Dundee.
The team is invited by the organiser of a national-scale event to solve the problem of accessible signage for the blind. Realising that Braille signs are unusable without sound localisation, the concept of 'blind compliant zones' is born.
