Problem
Partially sighted and blind individuals face significant challenges in navigating their environment and accessing real-time information about their surroundings. Existing assistive technologies often lack the ability to provide comprehensive, immediate feedback, hindering spatial awareness and independent mobility.
Solution
EyeLight Technologies has developed a wearable 3D camera system designed to enhance spatial awareness and navigation for individuals with visual impairments. The device captures visual data from the user's perspective and translates it into vocal and tactile feedback delivered through a Bluetooth earpiece. This real-time environmental information allows users to perceive their surroundings more effectively, avoid obstacles, and interact with the world with greater confidence. The system aims to provide a more intuitive and accessible way for visually impaired individuals to understand and navigate their environment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes partially sighted and blind individuals seeking to improve their spatial awareness, navigation skills, and overall independence.
