Abstract

There are 37 million visually disable people in this world [1]. Advances in computer human interface and 3D world perception permit production of affordable and user friendly devices to assist the visually disabled [3]. This research paper presents a different approach in wearable computing using open source software and inexpensive hardware to assist the visually disabled section of population.
