What’s under the hood and how it helps?
• Where Am I: Be it the busiest suburbs of Mumbai or the loneliest roads of Siberia, whether you are a common man or zombie, Eye-D will make sure that you are never lost. Tap on “Where Am I” and let the magic happen. You get to know your location with a list of landmarks nearby. Found any of the landmark interesting? Then why wait tap the preferred landmark and Eye-D guides you to it with walking directions (currently by opening google map navigation).
• Around Me: Stuck in an alien town? Calm down, fire the Eye-D app and select “Around Me”. Bingo!! You can now find ATM’s, Banks, Bus stops, Cinemas, Restaurants, Hospitals and Stores nearby at your fingertips. Select the desired category and navigate to the preferred place. To ensure that you never miss out a place we have provided a search area controller. So the next time you didn’t find a relevant place nearby try adjusting the set the search area radius to anything in the range of 500 to 5500 meters.
What? Still in that alien town? Come-on find the nearest bus stop and head out.
• See Object: I’m facing the gate… No the lemon tree…. No the bike, Easy pal!! Use the See Object mode in the Eye-D app to evaluate your surroundings. Click on this mode, take a picture and Eye-D app will tell you what’s in front. So the next time you are standing at the window use the See Object mode to check what’s happening on the other side. In case you missed the description the first time simply swipe right to hear again.
