Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'In DIGIGLASSES project a group of SMEs aims to develop a marketable digital tool for the visually impaired, which will be able to provide 3D vision for the users, corrected and customized for the special symptoms of the user’s eye disease. By this combined solution, not only the symptoms of the unique disease will be decreased, but the stereoscopic vision allows judging distances within the environment. The members of DIGIGLASSES consortium believe that the concept is worthy and promising not only as an effective low vision aid, but also from the business point of view. The feedback from the optical and vision aid devices market validates more efforts to invest in developing this innovative technology.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A new digital tool is under development to help the visually impaired see better, improving their mobility and quality of life. This tool will also be customised for the symptoms of the user's eye disease.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The project http://www.digiglasses.eu (DIGIGLASSES) will develop 3D glasses that will give users stereoscopic vision, allowing them to judge distances in the environment. The consortium partners have outlined the functional system specifications for the digiglasses.
Examination software has been developed, enabling researchers to create the desired functions while allowing for optimisation and fine-tuning. Researchers then designed the optical part of the system, which will let the user see the image ahead in the proper distance.
Consortium members have prepared the manufacturing processes and contacted manufacturers to create the prototypes. The goal is to produce an affordable, stylish pair of glasses with high functionality.They also created a video animation showing the concept of the project. This was disseminated through YouTube and Facebook, as well as on the project website. Project meetings have kept consortium partners informed about the project.
DIGIGLASSES has the potential for broad impact. It will help people with low vision get jobs more easily and work in a wide range of environments. This will help ensure that discrimination against the disabled is eliminated and equal opportunities are promoted. Furthermore, greater inclusion of the visually impaired will help improve employment prospects and overall quality of life.
