In practice, however, most were classified as legally blind people actually remain part of her sight, but may not be able to recognize faces and obstacles, especially under low light conditions.

Venture company VA-ST research and development of intelligent headset Smart Specs, includes a depth camera and augmented reality glasses to help the blind more easily. Co-founder Stephen Hicks believes that their equipment can allow visually impaired people to explore the surrounding environment.

Hicks is an Oxford University researchers in neuroscience and vision rehabilitation, their glasses with a depth sensor and software, to highlight nearby people and objects and shapes. Glass has four different modes, and can be black, white and gray with different details to show around the world, as well as the regular color mode can be used to simply magnify.

Another challenge is to make the Smart Specs becomes lighter, more attractive. Some people will accept because of the benefits it brings that appearance, and some people are not willing to invest in a device worn on the head is so big, hope began offering early next year, Smart Specs are able to make great progress in appearance.
