Abstract
With technological advancements, travel applications offer the ability to provide personalized support, information, and assistance to disabled travelers in organizing their journeys and dealing with unfamiliar environments. These apps can assist people with impairments in making travel decisions and choosing destinations that can meet their specific needs. Travel Eye is an app designed specifically to accompany those who are unable to travel due to impairments. Travel Eye is different from any other app as it provides unique support to various types of impaired persons who require specific assistance. These apps offer a variety of features to make traveling easier for impaired people who are concerned with their specific needs. Travel Eye's essential strength is that it features an innovative feature that allows users to get a tour guide through a "video call" to assist them while touring specific locations. The speech recognition engine in the app is so advanced that it can dictate and translate calls in different languages. The tour guide will guide impaired users with different typesof disabilities, such as deaf, mute, or vision impaired, using either verbal or sign language. Another feature included in Travel Eye is a map that can show major attractions within the country the user visits. The map also automatically displays places and maps that are accessible to people with disabilities, such as wheelchair-accessible hotels, landmarks, restaurants, public restrooms, and other premises. These features can assist people with disabilities in navigating unfamiliar surroundings and finding accessible paths, thus reaching their destinations faster. This incredible Travel Eye app also allows users to arrange a flight, hotel, or rental car if necessary. Travel apps with these features have the potential to increase the accessibility and enjoyment of travel for individuals with disabilities, resulting in a more inclusive and diverse travel community.
