Smart glasses will help you see the blind

Manufacturers of modern electronics regularly struggling to pay more attention to people with disabilities. Mexican scientists have gone further and created smart glasses that will allow you to see the blind. Extraordinary gadget will be available for implementation by the beginning of next year and will cost about 1.5 thousand $.

In order not to allow people with difficulties of view to keep up with the latest technologies, Mexican experts have created for blind users smart glasses. The device, which is based on the development of the ultrasound receiver geolocation, stereoscopic perception and artificial intelligence, will help to solve the problem of orientation in space.

Glasses can read the road signs and even to characterize the color of the clothes and cash, including currency, denomination, etc.. Built-in GPS receiver not only records the location of the person, but also interacting with special software wrapper that provides sound data on the direction of movement.

This development stereoscopic perception is used in robotics, and is now among the leading modern of its kind. The development of ultrasound, also integrated into the glasses, is responsible for determining the fixed and dynamic objects local to the user, and recognizes even transparent objects, eliminating the possibility of unexpected conflict with glass objects, informs portal Weblaboratory.

The flaw of the device in only one - in low efficiency. Charge its battery lasts only permanent 4 hours. Smart glasses for blind people was patented and ready for implementation.
