Problem Addressed
Providing greater independence to the visually impaired by creating assistive wearable devices (smart glasses) to provide them with real-time information by translating visual information into an audio form in the desired language of users.
Technology
The assistive wearable device (SMARTON) translates visual information into audio for the visually impaired. Using AI and edge processing on smartphones, the device provides real-time information, enhancing independence and reducing reliance on others.
