Design and implementation of smart glass that provides real-time obstacle detection, recognition and audio feedback.

Abstract

The Smart Glasses with Blind Assistance System: Real-Time Object Detection with Voice Alerts is an innovative technology designed to empower individuals with visual impairments. This system, developed using Python, combines real-time object detection and audio feedback to assist users in navigating their surroundings independently and safely. Beyond navigation, it can also function as an alarm alert system, providing auditory cues upon detecting objects. The technology's potential extends to becoming a hardware product for biomedical applications. Ongoing research aims to enhance accuracy through model retraining and implementation distance calculations for detected objects. Additionally, plans include deploying the system on hardware devices like smart glasses and expanding accessibility through a dedicated mobile app. This smart glasses-based solution holds great promise in improving the quality of life and independence for visually impaired individuals.
