Abstract

The rapid advancements in technology have drastically transformed society over the past century. Progress has been monumental, from revolutionizing transportation and medicine to solving previously insurmountable challenges. However, there remains a glaring gap in how we assist individuals with disabilities, particularly those who are visually impaired. While prosthetics and other assistive technologies have made strides, no solution still enables the blind to "see" with the ease and immediacy most of us take for granted. This project proposes a solution using AI to help visually impaired individuals navigate their environment using a set of AI goggles or headsets equipped with cameras and sensors. This would be our next step in finding a practical solution that helps blind people “see.”
