This study explores the potential of ARC ore for developing navigation systems tailored for low-speed mobility scenarios, such as aiding navigation for the visually impaired. Evaluating the application's performance, we found the current measurement accuracy and error margin of up to 7.5% acceptable for these conditions. A navigation system leveraging ARCore could significantly enhance spatial orientation by providing real-time distance information to objects and obstacles. Integration with audio prompts and tactile feedback promises intuitive navigation, empowering users with visual impairments to navigate independently and safely both indoors and outdoors. These findings underscore ARCore's potential to improve quality of life through accessible and effective navigation solutions.
