Chinese researchers have developed a wearable AI system to help visually impaired people navigate independently. The device uses a camera, AI processor, and bone conduction headphones to provide real-time guidance through audio and vibrations. After brief training, visually impaired volunteers successfully navigated indoors using the system. Researchers aim to expand its capabilities for outdoor use and improve its discretion. This technology could greatly enhance autonomy for millions of visually impaired individuals globally.
