Cutting edge technology
While the current prototype only focuses on a small region of the entire image, the improved version could execute image recognition algorithms in order to prioritize important objects, such as traffic lights. A viewfinder displayed on the device’s visor display would indicate which region is currently being processed
Customizable design
As for future works, we aim to create a device that is light and compact, maximizing the users comfort. A possible concept design consists of a small aluminium strip, curved visor glass with an integrated transparent display, bone conduction modules to rest between the temple and ear of the user, and an adjustable band at the back side, which could house additional components.
Intuitive output
Bone conduction transducers help provide audio output. Even when sound is transmitted through bone conduction, the user would still clearly hear all surrounding noise normally through air conduction. This significantly decreases the invasiveness of the device and dangers associated with wearing headphones for long periods of time.
