Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Researchers Have Created Glasses That Indicate Obstacles to Patients With Visual Handicaps

ScienceDaily (May 28, 2012) — People with moderate visual impairment, particularly those who have difficulty perceiving the full extent of their surroundings, could use the ingenious device that these UC3M scientists have created. “This device is aimed at people who would bump into everything that they fail to see because of their loss of visual field, caused by glaucoma, retinal pathologies, etc.,” states the head of the project Professor Ricardo Vergaz, of UC3M’s Electronics Technology Department.
