Goals
HoloTech project attempts to make a system that will act as the eyes for blind people. Using the current hardware technology, image processing, computational science to build a useful tool that will detect in real-time the different obstacles in front of the person using the tool (Blind) and warning from where it is coming
Benefits for society:
The project aims is to help blinds people to be more auto-dependent and be easier to integrate in the society without complex learning or additional help. Helping them to gain a better lifestyle and independence and less concern from their families.
Current Status
What we have organized so far is: Implementing the different mechanism to analyze an image in real-time, the hardware specification that will be composed with a smartphone and ultrasonic sensor and data analysis using a neuronal network. We are currently in process to make a prototype.
Project age: since March 2013
