AiSee: An Assistive Wearable Device to Support Visually Impaired Grocery Shoppers
summary
AiSee is a bone-conduction headset with a ring trigger, on-board Android + 13 MP camera, and cloud inference that uses a Single-Shot Detector to locate the finger, crops the ROI, then sends it to an AI cloud service to extract text, logos and annotations and return TTS. The prototype achieves ~80% recognition in a controlled grocery test, shows useful support for WHO visual categories 3–4, and is validated with pilot in-the-wild use.
