Context-aware accessibility

The right information, at the right moment.

Eccium is building accessibility that understands where you are and what you’re doing, and quietly tells you what matters.

Same directions. Different moment.

Information alone isn’t enough. What helps is knowing which information matters right now.

Pick a moment

You’re at a busy junction. The crossing signal is red.

A directions app says

“Turn left in 20 metres.”

Eccium says

“Wait here. The signal is still red. I’ll tell you the moment it changes.”

You’ve just stepped into a large train station for the first time.

A directions app says

“Turn left in 20 metres.”

Eccium says

“Platform 4 is straight ahead. Your train leaves in six minutes.”

You’re standing outside a café you’ve never visited.

A directions app says

“Turn left in 20 metres.”

Eccium says

“The entrance is directly ahead, and the door is clear.”

Illustrative examples of the experience Eccium is designing toward.

What we’re building

Built to disappear into your day.

The best accessibility doesn’t announce itself. It works quietly in the background of ordinary life.

  1. Understands your surroundings.

    Reads space, movement and objects as one continuous picture, not a list of separate detections.

  2. Adapts to you.

    Learns how you move and what you need, so assistance fits your routine instead of asking you to fit it.

  3. Lives on what you wear.

    A hardware-agnostic layer designed for smart glasses and the ambient devices that follow.

  4. Answers in the moment.

    Sub-second processing, so help arrives while it’s still useful.

Our philosophy

Technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.

For too long, accessibility has meant learning another tool. We think the burden of adapting belongs to the technology.

The next generation of accessibility won’t be built alone.
