AISLA
Artificial Intelligence Sight Loss Assistant
Using Computer Vision and AI to help people with Sight Loss Live More Independently
Sight loss affects over 2 million people in the UK and the aging population means that figure will rise in the coming years.
The AISLA project aims to develop an intelligent assistive technology for the blind using artificial intelligence, computer vision, spoken dialogue and other discreet communication devices such as haptic motors.
Close-Hand Navigation Using computer vision and various feedback modes to guide users to objects that are close at hand
Haptic Feedback Using vibrating motors to guide a user and communicate short messages
Visual Reasoning Using knowledge representation to reason about the objects in a scene
Publications from the project
The AISLA system uses voice, camera and gesture inputs and produces outputs to sound, speech and haptics.
