Published purpose
The market for electronic and software assistive technologies for people with visual impairments is evolving rapidly thanks to AI, particularly with the rise of smart glasses, which are now affordable, stylish, and mass-produced. However, because they are designed for the general public, they are sometimes ill suited to the specific needs of people with visual impairments. The project therefore aims to develop specialized software applications to improve mobility, navigation, object recognition, and reading, with a reliable and intuitive interface.
