A Japanese company developed a new concept to design smart glasses, designed for users who have dyslexia.
The objective of this device is to convert words to voice, without the user having to depend on applications or any extra element.
The glasses have the same appearance as the traditional ones, but they have two cameras and an earphone. And half of the lens is a mirror that captures the eye movements.

The dynamic is very simple; the user activates the system with the blinking so that it captures a photograph of the text that you want to play. The content is sent to a network using Raspberry Pi, and once processed, it is transmitted to the user through the headset.
If some part of the text cannot be deciphered, it is passed to a second stage. In which a remote worker will provide support to solve it. The user can follow this dynamic, whether they want to read books, documents or signs that are on the street.
While the creator thought of people with dyslexia, glasses can be useful for any user who has a visual disability. These glasses are in the financing stage at Campfire, to provide them to the people who need it.
