Ongoing developments.. Device Enables Blind People To “See” With Their Tongue MIT Testing Portable Machine to Help the Blind to See A GPS Device For The Blind
In near future.. may be
Latest device…accessible satellite navigation solutions • A GPS receiver connected to cell phone by Bluetooth • A screen reader software identify and interpret what is being displayed and sent to standard output • This interpretation is re-presented to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a Braille output device. • Cannot alert the blind to small obstacles like stairs or street curbs
What do they really need? According to our interview results in China..
SixthSense • Base on the New technology from MIT Media Lab-----“SixSense” • - a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. PHONE
How it works? • Camera track and understand the gesture, objects and surroundings • The system recognize all the images and color • Easy output which is easy to use • Merge computing with physical world
How a TTY Modem works ? Converts digital electronic data to analogue audio signals Converts audio signals back to digital data
How it works ? CAMERA/MICROPHONE Capture the voice and sign from real world (theater, casual talk….) FILTER RECOGNIZER Use any interface to communicate along with synthicized speaker PORJECTOR SPEAKER Get order and process data, powerful internet and personalized database REMOTE DATA SERVER
How it works ? • A voice synthesizer tap to GPS to provide verbal directions. SixthSense technology and database give immediate real life feedback about the users' surroundings. • Increase their pedestrian mobility and to get around • Better navigation experience • Makes blind and mute people more independent
