Enhanced Assistive Vision Glasses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Horizon Smart Glasses Empower People with Visual Impairments

— April 3, 2018 — Lifestyle
Any good technology platform worth its salt needs to evolve and progress with the times, and Aira has taken this philosophy seriously by introducing an upgraded version of the smart glasses designed to go with its cloud-based vision-assisting platform.

Dubbed the Horizon Smart Glasses, this high-tech piece of eyewear is designed to act as a consolidated platform to help people with different degrees of vision impairment to navigate their world. The glasses are equipped with a wide-angle camera, and are used in conjunction with a controller device that monitors battery and network parameters.

Whereas Aira's previous platform required a number of third-party services to work properly, the Horizon Smart Glasses are designed to be far more streamlined to operate, giving people with vision impairments maximum assistance with minimal hassle.
Trend Themes
1. Streamlined Vision-assisting Platform - The evolution of smart glasses and the integration of a consolidated platform offer a streamlined and efficient solution for people with vision impairments.
2. Enhanced Camera Technology - The use of wide-angle cameras in smart glasses provides a more comprehensive view for individuals with visual impairments, enhancing their ability to navigate their surroundings.
3. Optimized User Experience - By minimizing the need for third-party services and introducing a controller device, smart glasses offer a more convenient and user-friendly experience for people with visual impairments.
Industry Implications
1. Assistive Technology - The Horizon Smart Glasses represent the continued innovation and advancement in assistive technology, enhancing the quality of life for those with visual impairments.
2. Healthcare - The use of smart glasses in the healthcare industry opens up new possibilities in providing comprehensive support and care for individuals with visual impairments.
3. Consumer Electronics - The integration of advanced camera technology and a streamlined platform in smart glasses demonstrates the potential for disrupting the consumer electronics industry, specifically in the field of wearable devices.
