Abstract

Smart glasses are designed for various applications, including industrial, healthcare, medical, consumer, logistics, security, and government. Traditional assistive tools like white canes are limited in functionality, lacking information about objects. This study proposes a cost-effective design of head-mounted optical devices that mimic normal eyewear. These devices capture video from the user’s perspective and process it to assist blind users. The proposed model does not require manual intervention and offers a wide field of vision of 120 degrees. This technology can provide more precise and informative environmental perception for visually impaired individuals.
