BGlass

Our project, BGlass as a GAIA AI agent is an innovative assistive technology designed to empower visually impaired individuals by providing real-time object detection and navigation support. Using smart glasses equipped with scanning lenses, BGlass continuously analyzes the environment in front of the user. The system detects objects and potential hazards, identifying them with high precision and estimating their distance.

Through voice feedback, BGlass informs users about the nature of each detected object—whether it’s a person, a vehicle, or another obstacle—and warns them when objects are too close, issuing alerts to prevent collisions or dangerous situations. This makes it easier for blind individuals to move through crowded or unfamiliar environments safely.

Additionally, BGlass includes an integrated GPS navigation system. Users can input a destination through voice commands, and the system provides step-by-step guidance, ensuring they reach their destination efficiently. The processing power and storage for the system are housed in a compact unit that connects wirelessly to the glasses, making it lightweight and portable.

This technology not only enhances mobility and safety but also promotes independence, giving visually impaired users greater confidence to navigate the world on their own terms.
