The visually impaired gospel OLED smart glasses open new horizons

Foreign media reports, the research team from University of Oxford has developed a OLED smart glasses Assisted Vision, may help users with severe visual impairment to identify objects. This pair of smart glasses to wear the same way as ordinary glasses, but it is not used in glass or resin lenses, but OLED display and micro camera. Can provide users with visual field within the object image.

According to incomplete statistics, 75% of the blind still have some limited visual function, can perceive the light and movement. The smart glasses Assisted Vision can use the camera and software to detect objects and objects displayed on the OLED lens glasses.

The working principle of the Assisted Vision is as follows: two cameras located on both sides of the glasses will be like the human eye, photographed the two different images. Subsequently, the glasses will display the image information provided by the camera on the transparent OLED lens, so that people with glasses can see the enhanced version of the image. In addition, the intensity and color of the OLED lens can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the wearer.

The glasses are also equipped with headphones and text conversion voice software, people can wear glasses to get more information about the surrounding objects. In addition, this set of glasses is also equipped with a GPS, a compass and a tool to measure the position of the glasses.

The smart glasses are currently only suitable for those who can still perceive the faint light of the visually impaired, but for people who can not see anything, this glasses do not work.
