GLASSES FOR THE BLIND

.lumen manufactures a pair of glasses which help the visually impaired navigate. Using advanced robotics technology, .lumen understands the environment around its user similar to how humans understand sight. Then, it processes the data internally and lastly it represents the information using sound and haptics. Using it, blind individuals can navigate, identify objects and live a more independent life.

THE STORY

In a conversation we got by accident to the expression "glasses for the blind". We searched but we couldn't find anything. However, we found that there are over 40 million people blind in the world and that the most used solution, the guide dogs, there are only 20 thousand of them. So we decided to act.
