Engineers At MIT Have Made A Huge Breakthrough For The Blind. This Machine Is Incredible.

Braille has been an effective tool to help those who are blind read; however, it’s understandably difficult when they’re tasked with reading something that isn’t converted to that format. Fortunately for those with impaired vision, engineers have developed this wonderful machine that will hopefully change the way they experience the world around them. Introducing The FingerReader:

MIT Media Lab’s FingerReader is an impressive machine.

MIT Media Lab

It’s a 3D-printed device that uses the attached camera to recognize and read text for the user.

MIT Media Lab

The device accomplishes this through complicated image processing.

MIT Media Lab

It is designed to precisely follow a person’s fingertip to read the text aloud.

MIT Media Lab

It can even be used on computer screens.

One of the coolest features is that The FingerReader emits a pulse that warns the readers when they move away from the line.

Although it’s only a prototype, we can only hope this hits the market ASAP.

FingerReader: A Wearable Device to Explore Printed Text on the Go

Accessing printed text in a mobile context is a major challenge for the blind. A preliminary study with blind people reveals numerous difficulties with existing state-of-the-art technologies including problems with alignment, focus, accuracy, mobility and efficiency. In this paper, we present a finger-worn device, FingerReader, that assists blind users with reading printed text on the go. We introduce a novel computer vision algorithm for local-sequential text scanning that enables reading single lines, blocks of text or skimming the text with complementary, multimodal feedback. This system is implemented in a small finger-worn form factor, that enables a more manageable eyes-free operation with trivial setup. We offer findings from three studies performed to determine the usability of the FingerReader.

FingerReader: anel inovador que permite aos cegos lerem qualquer livro

FingerReader: anel inovador que permite aos cegos lerem qualquer livro

A escrita em braile possibilita que pessoas com cegueira, parcial ou total, consigam ler. Contudo, nem todos os livros e materiais escritos são adaptados, impossibilitando que pessoas com debilidades visuais leiam, por exemplo, panfletos na rua ou peguem livros emprestados de amigos. Ao pensar numa forma de tornar todo e qualquer material escrito acessível aos invisuais ou amblíopes, um grupo do…
