British Developer Creates Wearable Device for Visually Impaired with Raspberry Pi

TapTechNews August 26th news, British developer Md. Khairul Alam used Raspberry Pi to create a wearable head-mounted device, which helps visually impaired people better perceive (perceive) the surrounding environment through artificial intelligence technology to achieve independent navigation. Alam calls this project 'The Third Eye of the Blind'.

According to TapTechNews, the core component of this device is a pair of glasses with a special camera system embedded. The image data collected by the camera on the glasses will be sent to the Raspberry Pi, and be analyzed and interpreted through artificial intelligence algorithms. The Raspberry Pi converts the analysis result into a text description and plays it to the wearer through headphones.

Alam said that this device aims to help visually impaired people become more independent and reduce their dependence on others. He hopes that through this innovation, visually impaired people can better integrate into society and improve the quality of life.

The source code of this project has been made public for those who are interested in recreating the project at home.
