Reimagining lives
of blind people

The Vision Project is a technological startup which is targeted on providing blind people with computer vision powered low-level navigation assistant

Technology

We use computer vision technology to provide people with safe means of outdoor navigation. And yes, all the code will be open-sourced.

Financial equality

We want to provide access to our technology to as many people as possible. If you don't have enough money to buy the device, we will provide you with one for free.

Support

We truly want the experience of working with new technology to be completely flawless. That's why you may expect a free setup and technical support whenever you need.

How does it work?

The wearable device navigates you throughout the environment, detecting dangerous objects and points of interest. The information is translated into audio format and is conveyed to the user via sound or vibration.
The system may be extended by marking objects with special labels, which guarantee better obstacle recognition and add such functionality as custom status of certain objects or complex path navigation.

What about financial aid?

When we say "for free", we mean "for free". We understand that not everyone will be able to afford such a device. That's why we intend to create a cumulative fund, which will be supported by sales of the devices. This means that a certain amount of money from every sold device will go to that fund, which will allow people with financial need to get such devices for free.
