Stellar Trek - Talking GPS and AI Assistant

Humanware Stellar Trek, being held in a users hand, with a street in the background.

The StellarTrek is a handheld, AI-driven GPS and OCR assistant designed for people with visual impairments, combining robust navigation and text-recognition capabilities in a single compact device. It uses an integrated camera and artificial intelligence to recognize street addresses, doors, landmarks, and pedestrian crossings — then gives voice guidance to your destination’s final 40 feet. Beyond navigation, it can read aloud text from street signs, ingredient labels, receipts or packaging, detect colors, scan barcodes, and even serve as a book reader by connecting to accessible libraries. With a tactile interface, all-day battery life, built-in speaker and microphone, and support for multiple languages, StellarTrek gives users greater autonomy and confidence in daily travel, shopping, and everyday tasks.

Stellar Trek Product Features

  • Turn-by-turn voice navigation (even final 40 ft): StellarTrek doesn’t just get you “close” to your destination — it uses its camera + AI to identify exactly where a door, entrance, crosswalk, or building is, and gives spoken directions to guide you the rest of the way.
  • Text, color, and barcode reading via OCR & AI: As you travel, StellarTrek can scan and read aloud street signs, labels, receipts, product info, and more — making shopping, reading menus or signage, and daily errands easier.
  • Pedestrian crossing & intersection assistance: The device offers pedestrian crossing detection (and — where supported — traffic signal detection in a “beta” mode), helping users navigate intersections more safely.
  • All-day battery and standalone functionality: StellarTrek is designed to operate independently — you don’t need to constantly rely on a smartphone. Its rechargeable battery is sized for full-day use, and the device includes internal memory, speakers, headphone jack, GPS, cameras, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so it can handle all mobility and reading tasks on its own.
  • Multi-language support and global map coverage: StellarTrek supports many languages and offers downloadable maps covering large parts of the world — making it useful for travel, commuting, or everyday navigation whether at home or abroad.
