Idea Title: Voice-Guided Gesture Navigation for Visually Impaired Users
#InnovationLab #Accessibility

🧠 Overview:
Introduce a voice-guided gesture navigation system in Galaxy devices that provides real-time spoken feedback to help visually impaired or partially sighted users understand what’s happening as they use gestures to navigate the phone.

---

📱 How it Works (Simple Flow Diagram):

User performs gesture ➜
System detects gesture ➜
Voice feedback triggered ➜
User confirms or repeats action

For example:

Swipe right ➜ “Opening next item”

Double tap ➜ “Select”

Swipe up with 2 fingers ➜ “Scrolling down”

🎯 Features to Include:

1. “Learn by Touch” Mode
A training mode where gestures are explained through voice feedback without executing real actions. Great for beginners.

2. Adjustable Feedback Speed
Users can choose how fast or slow the audio guidance is delivered (useful for cognitive or hearing differences).

3. Partial Vision Mode
Instead of full TalkBack, this offers a light version with only gesture-related feedback, reducing complexity.

---

💡 Benefits:

Reduces anxiety for new users who are blind or partially sighted.

Makes touchscreen navigation smoother and more independent.

Can help even senior users who struggle with gesture memory or UI learning.

I truly believe this feature will create a more inclusive Galaxy experience. Looking forward to seeing it come to life!

Accessibility for vision:

Zooming wherever they touch. As if reading a book, when they touch on screen, it automatically zooms for font to become bigger and easily readable.
