Smart glasses that remove obstacles
Visually impaired individuals try to perceive environmental obstacles with tools such as canes in their daily lives. However, canes/walking sticks can be inadequate, especially in obstacles above waist level. It is equipped with features such as smart glasses, camera modules, voice assistant, navigation and object detection that solve this problem. With the help of glasses, individuals can determine distances, listen to texts aloud and be aware of environmental obstacles.
