Researchers report new wearable device reduces collisions and falls in those who are visually impaired by 37%.
A study published by JAMA Ophthalmology found that a wearable computer vision device may help reduce collisions and other accidents in the blind and visually impaired,
When used in combination with a long cane or guide dog, the technology, which detects nearby movement and objects with an on-board camera, reduced the risk for collisions and falls by nearly 40% compared with other mobility aids, the data showed.
