Custos – a system of environmental awareness for the blind and visually impaired.
Custos’s design consists of constructing a wearable device designed for blind and visually impaired people to replace the sense of vision. The device is designed to analyse the image from cameras placed in specially created glasses, and the result of the analysis is to provide the user with information about their presence. Information about the surroundings will be transmitted through a specially designed haptic vest. In addition, the system aims to improve the quality of life of blind and visually impaired people and increase their independence by replacing vision in everyday activities such as: moving, choosing outfits, pointing and searching for objects.
