Abstract

In this paper, Virtual Assistive Smart Eyes (VASE) is described which introduces a new advanced smart glass technology for the visually impaired. Smart glasses in general, have come up as the most calculative device in the modern age to amalgamate humans and machines with the help of machine learning and information technology. These devices are frequently used in industries like medicine and gaming, but their exploration in the field of assistive technology, specifically for the visually impaired is very limited. Majority of these devices are focusing on only a fraction of the features required. It is unfair to leave the average person no choice but to invest in products that are expensive and are not covering all aspects of the problems faced, that they would need to be autonomous in their every-day lives. The proposed VASE is a cost-effective pair of smart glasses which includes many features such as obstruction detection and object recognition. VASE would immensely benefit the visually impaired people in doing their daily tasks and lead an independent life. It will impact the society enormously, as it aids in the prevention of accidents and any other unfortunate incidents, bringing about a major technological advancement benefiting the whole world.

花瓶:为视障人士设计的智能眼镜

本文介绍了虚拟辅助智能眼(花瓶)，它为视障人士介绍了一种新的先进智能玻璃技术。一般来说，智能眼镜是在机器学习和信息技术的帮助下，将人类和机器结合在一起的现代最具计算能力的设备。这些设备经常用于医疗和游戏等行业，但它们在辅助技术领域的探索非常有限，特别是针对视障人士。这些设备中的大多数只专注于所需功能的一小部分。这是不公平的，让普通人别无选择，只能投资于昂贵的产品，而这些产品并不能涵盖所面临的问题的所有方面，他们在日常生活中需要自主。所提出的花瓶是一副具有成本效益的智能眼镜，包括许多功能，如障碍物检测和物体识别。花瓶将极大地帮助视障人士完成日常工作，过上独立的生活。它将对社会产生巨大的影响，因为它有助于预防事故和任何其他不幸事件，带来重大的技术进步，造福整个世界。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments (JAISE) serves as a forum to discuss the latest developments on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Smart Environments (SmE). Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the areas involved, the journal aims to promote participation from several different communities covering topics ranging from enabling technologies such as multi-modal sensing and vision processing, to algorithmic aspects in interpretive and reasoning domains, to application-oriented efforts in human-centered services, as well as contributions from the fields of robotics, networking, HCI, mobile, collaborative and pervasive computing. This diversity stems from the fact that smart environments can be defined with a variety of different characteristics based on the applications they serve, their interaction models with humans, the practical system design aspects, as well as the multi-faceted conceptual and algorithmic considerations that would enable them to operate seamlessly and unobtrusively. The Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments will focus on both the technical and application aspects of these.
