L'applicazione Occhio della città intelligente - or The Eye of the Smart City app - provides detailed navigation of popular destinations. The app uses maps and voice commands to direct users to features like bus stops and Wi-Fi hotspots. City designers and the University of Florence made the app customizable for visual impairments and foreign language translation. Eye of the Smart City includes itineraries created by local organizations for monument walks honoring Dante Alighieri.

L'applicazione, gestibile anche mediante comandi vocali, consente a cittadini e turisti - sia normodotati che non vedenti o ipovedenti - di muoversi in modo autonomo all’interno della città; si integra con i navigatori installati sullo smartphone per selezionare una destinazione attingendo a una rubrica di preferiti o a un elenco di POI (Point of Interest) nelle vicinanze. Attualmente consente anche di seguire a Firenze e Ravenna i "percorsi danteschi".
