The related CE systems can
have a significant impact on
the estimated 285 million
people worldwide who are
visually impaired.
The wearable glasses work in conjunc-
tion with a mobile smartphone that per-
forms the computations, detects the
current location of obstacles, and notifies
the wearer by audio or vibration.
