Newvision: application for helping blind people using deep learning
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
As able-bodied people, we often take our vision for granted. For people who are visually impaired, however, their disability can have a significant impact on their daily lives. We are developing proprietary headgear that will help visually impaired people navigate their surroundings, identify objects and people, read text, and avoid obstacles. The headgear will use a combination of computer vision, distance estimation with ultrasonic sensors, voice recognition, and voice assistants to provide users with real-time information about their environment. Users will be able to interact with the headgear through voice commands, such as ''What is that?'' to identify an object or ''Navigate to the front door'' to find their way around. The headgear will then provide the user with a verbal description of the object or spoken navigation instructions. We believe that this headgear has the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of visually impaired people, allowing them to live more independently and participate more fully in society.
