The system combines several analysis methods to map the environment. It uses a lidar to scan space with light, a sonar to detect obstacles using sound waves, and a video camera for visual information.
The device will process data using AI algorithms to detect small or thin obstacles, such as branches or wires, and warn the user in advance. The computer vision algorithms will also recognize text, signs, and faces.
The project is currently moving from prototype samples to a finished product. The device will be designed as a compact wearable gadget that leaves the user's hands free.
