If you're looking for cutting-edge ideas to help people with vision problems, there are a few interesting possibilities. Neuralink is developing a general-purpose brain interface that could restore vision, motor control and speech. The technology, which uses brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to let people control computers with their minds, could dramatically improve people's independence and accessibility.
Another interesting idea is Be My Eyes, an information retrieval system that matches blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers and businesses. With live video and AI technology, it can provide immediate help and describe photos people take. The system can dramatically improve accessibility and make customers with vision problems more engaged.
PingPath is an AI-based navigation system to help people with vision problems indoors. It uses a combination of spatial audio, LiDAR and AI to help people locate and avoid objects, so they can navigate more independently and with more confidence. Integration with Siri means it can be controlled with voice commands.
