Smart Glasses
Also known as: AR Glasses, Assistive Smart Glasses
Smart glasses are head-mounted wearable devices that incorporate cameras, microphones, speakers, and computing capabilities into an eyeglass form factor. For people who are blind or have low vision, smart glasses can use computer vision and AI to provide real-time information about the environment through audio descriptions, text recognition, face identification, and navigation assistance. Their hands-free design is particularly valued by guide dog users and people with motor impairments, and their resemblance to regular eyewear reduces social stigma compared to more conspicuous assistive devices.
