Denote is a proposed app to help people with memory-related illnesses

regain control over certain daily tasks through a virtual guide system.

The ability for one to navigate through their house,their neighborhood, or

even important buildings knowing they have a support system in their pocket

will make them safer and happier that they can take control of the tasks in their life.

Using augmented reality, users will be able to see virtual arrows marking

directions on a path and signs for notable locations, including rooms or

sections of a building like a hospital or library. These locations can be

logged, mapped, and saved for the user to select when needed.

A designated caretaker can set important locations for the

user and evenassign a location to the users phone remotely.
