Project Title: AI Glasses for the Visually Impaired

Summary:

The AI Glasses for the Visually Impaired project involves developing smart eyewear that uses artificial intelligence to assist visually impaired individuals in perceiving their surroundings. The system integrates computer vision, object detection, and audio output to recognize and describe objects, people, and text in real time.

The glasses aim to improve independence and mobility by translating visual information into speech, allowing users to navigate environments, read signs, and identify obstacles safely.

Key Objectives:

Enable real-time scene understanding for the visually impaired

Use AI to recognize objects, faces, and text

Provide audio feedback through a speaker or earphones

Core Components:

Camera Module: Captures real-time video

AI Processing Unit: Runs image recognition and NLP models

Text-to-Speech Engine: Converts visual data into spoken output

Audio Output Device: Delivers feedback to the user (e.g., bone conduction earphones)

Technologies Used:

Python with OpenCV for computer vision

TensorFlow/PyTorch for object detection and OCR

Tesseract for text recognition

pyttsx3 or gTTS for text-to-speech

Raspberry Pi or Arduino for hardware control

Features:

Object and obstacle detection

Real-time text reading (e.g., signs, books)

Face detection or recognition (optional)

Audio feedback describing surroundings

Applications:

Assistive technology for visually impaired users

Smart navigation tools

Wearable AI in healthcare
