A group of researchers at Ajman University have created smart glasses with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) technology that can read, navigate and identify faces to help the visually impaired.
“The idea behind this project was to come up with smart solutions to help the visually impaired lead normal lives, and so we focused the smart glasses on three core areas which are reading, identification and navigation — three areas where visually impaired people struggle the most,” said Pakistani scientist Tazeen Sharif, director of International Academic Affairs and one of the lead researchers on the project.
