Network introduced a lot of Lei feng to help blind people exploring the world of smart devices, such as helping avoid roadblock camera specifically for blind people use special keyboard. 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.
Hicks said: "this device can help you identify things nearby, can really make it stand out in a smart device. "VA-ST hope to sell their products at the beginning of next year, and expects the price will be less than $ 1000.
Smart Specs for the current version is made of heavy, bright plastic made, comprising a pair of Epson Moverio augmented reality glasses as a display, as well as from ASUS offers a combination of depth and an ordinary color camera module. Smart Specs you need to connect to a slim box that contains multiple keys, when users must carry it on boxes containing the computer running the Android system, image processing operations for glasses, also contains a battery system can run for up to eight hours.

Conventional camera modules provided by ASUS capture users to environments around, cameras and depth is the distance between each object and the surface. Run software using depth measurement, find out which things need to be highlighted and ignored. If the distance is about 10 feet in front of you stands a man, VA-ST software that'll render according to the settings on the image, the software rendered character with black and white outline and the main facial features, such as: glasses, nose and mouth, while other, more distant people and objects will be grayed out, and the background is completely black.
Hicks said, one of the biggest challenges is to make the long distance the depth cameras and Smart Specs perfectly matched, they are running 15-foot range of the camera.
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.

In actual use, Plus feel just like an iPad Mini Mini--, especially in landscape mode, Plus cross-screen keyboard or directly join the cut, copy, paste, and the arrow keys, and then create a new note and email are suspended like a piece of paper on top of the entire interface, very unique. It seems Apple is great at screens of different sizes have different characteristics of the interface, while Android's interface is really no difference except size.
