Harvard engineers have developed Mobilio, a smartphone app that uses AI, built-in sensors, and personalized audio beeps to give users with blindness or low vision continuous guidance and obstacle avoidance. Ph.D. student Raymond Liu led the research in collaboration with Patrick Slade, assistant professor of bioengineering at John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and associate faculty member of the Kempner Institute. The Harvard Grid Accelerator supported the research.

For the first time, researchers at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences demonstrated a single quantum of vibrational energy interacting with a single atomic spin, seeding a pathway to quantum technologies that use sound.
