More buttons on NOA for hands-free mobility! Now shipping

We’re listening to your feedback, and right before freezing the hardware of our V1, we’re adding a couple of buttons to the side of the NOA device. The aim? Fully control the device without having to use your hands! A breakdown of how that works below.
Based on our in-depth tests, this removed over 95% of interactions with smartphones!
NOA AI (in the device): v1.7.5
2 Navigation buttons:
1 to iterate through the favorite navigation destinations
1 to get your current location
2 Obstacle detection buttons:
1 to change the distance for obstacle detection
1 to “scan” for surrounding obstacles
2 AI buttons:
1 to look for a specific object (coming soon)
1 to do a full scene description
NOA companion (iOS and Android app): v1.7.6
now fully supports the use of the buttons on the device
We’re also launching our user manual as our device is now in a stable V1 and shipping has started! To go more in-depth, read our user manual:
Here is what the device looks like on the side now:
