Abstract

Envision began as an attempt to increase independence for people with visual impairment. During the course of the project, through a very participatory design approach, a deep understanding of the challenges faced by visually impaired people was obtained. A technology exploration in search for potential solutions led to the discovery of the emerging models in the field of artificial intelligence. By adopting an iterative design method a solution in the form of the Envision device was conceptualised that allows visually impaired people access to visual information. The device is a wearable camera that communicates with the artificial intelligence software on the users smartphone to augment the visual information in front of them.
