Delhi hospital launches smart vision glasses for visually impaired,
blind
A private hospital here launched smart vision glasses that are based on
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning technology, providing
new hope to the visually impaired and blind.
The vision glasses are lightweight and feature a camera, a sensor, and
come with AI/ML technology, making it even more effective in assisting
users.
The glasses project images, provide walking assistance, and include face
recognition capabilities, accompanied by a smart earpiece that reads and
understands, and relays information to the wearer.
Additional features include voice assistance and GPS navigation, making
them an essential tool for visually impaired patients to navigate and
avoid obstacles.
The wearable device, launched on Wednesday by Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye
Hospital, in association with Vision Aid India and Bengaluru-based
startup SHG Technologies, creates a more interactive, interesting, and
independent world for those with visual impairments.
“Technology has the power to revolutionise the lives of individuals with
visual impairments, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this
progress of eradicating blindness from the country,” said Umang Mathur,
Executive Director and CEO of Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital, in a
statement.
“The smart vision glasses represent a significant step towards enhancing
the quality of life for the visually impaired and blind patients. It is
our firm belief that healthcare is a basic human right and should be
accessible to all, regardless of their economic status or physical
condition,” he added.
The smart vision glasses come at a time when the number of visually
impaired and blind patients in India is on the rise.
According to the World Health Organization, there are currently an
estimated 15 million blind people in India, and another 135 million
people with some form of visual impairment.
