Project BLAID wearable devices can “help fill in the inadequacies of tools such as crustingâ€. The design is compact and compact, hanging on the shoulders of blind people, using cameras, vibration motors and other devices to detect the surrounding environment and to guide the blind to the needs. The place to arrive.
Toyota is still developing Project BLAID equipment. In the video released by Toyota, the device uses a curve design much like a collar mounted on a Bluetooth earphone. When the blind person is in use, the "collar" part needs to be placed behind the neck and placed on the shoulders. The camera monitors the surrounding environment, and the motor emits information by vibration, guiding the blind to move in the direction in which it needs to move forward.
Universal use of buttons and speech recognition allows blind people to interact with Project BLAID wearables, but this feature is currently not perfect. According to Toyota's vision, Project BLAID will also use more sophisticated technology to recognize faces and objects. By then, the wearable device can tell the blind what is in front of him.
Currently, the device is able to identify simple building areas such as elevators or restrooms. In the future, the device will also recognize more common objects and some signs on the ground. Toyota is encouraging its employees to provide "common indoor signage" videos for the device. Researchers will add images from these videos to the device's repository, which will eventually allow the device to recognize objects that are often encountered in everyday life. .
Simon Nagata, Toyota's chief executive officer in North America, said: "Project BLAID strongly suggests that Toyota is leading people into the "moving future", when people's actions will be more free, regardless of the environment, location, or ability. A pleasing device that improves the quality of human life."
