Smart Glasses for the blind
summary
A portable system runs on Android with an Epson see-through display and an Asus primeSense depth camera to strip away background clutter and highlight nearby obstacles and faces; face detection and high-contrast “stencil” rendering work even in complete darkness because the camera supplies its own illumination. Early tests with about 80 people show 40% of users show clear benefit, and a 300-person UK trial is planned to validate object queries like “where’s the chair” and refine form factor and usability.
