Empowering individuals with low vision through innovative, unobtrusive assistive technology
Millions of people worldwide experience low vision, affecting their ability to navigate daily life, read, and recognise faces. Existing assistive devices can be bulky, expensive, or obstruct peripheral vision, making them less practical for everyday use.
We propose the development of next-generation smart glasses using LCD, OLED, or microLED display technology to enhance vision discreetly and effectively. These glasses would provide real-time contrast adjustment, magnification, and scene enhancement while maintaining a lightweight and natural eyeglass appearance.
Unlike existing solutions, which can be cumbersome or socially isolating, these discreet smart glasses would empower low vision individuals with improved mobility, confidence, and independence. The use of microLED transparency, AI-powered object recognition, and dynamic display adjustments could redefine assistive eyewear for those with visual impairments.
Creating compact yet powerful high-resolution displays.
Balancing brightness and battery life for all-day use.
Reducing manufacturing costs to make the glasses more widely available.
By combining AI-driven enhancements, transparent microLED displays, and smart vision augmentation, these glasses have the potential to transform daily life for individuals with low vision. Investment in R&D, regulatory compliance, and user accessibility will be key to making this vision a reality.
