Artificial Intelligence Lenses Developed for the Blind
From: Medical Design Technology - 05/20/2014

Combining computational geometry, artificial intelligence, geo and ultrasound
techniques, among others, scientists from the Center for Research and
Advanced Studies (CINVESTAV) created a device to help people with low vision
or blindness to navigate more easily.

The navigation device consists of glasses with stereo sound sensors, GPS
technology and a tablet, which guides the blind person to a specific point
and avoids hitting static or moving obstacles, also recognizes money bills of
various denominations, and color of clothing.

The development at Cinvestav combines new algorithms and technology which
makes it unique. For example, the use of ultrasound techniques to detect
translucent obstacles, like glass, or the use of artificial intelligence
(machine learning) in order to recognize places, signs and objects. These
glasses are also useful for those with poor eyesight, as they help to improve
perception.
