hack__vista

It is primarily built for those who aren't blind by birth, so that they know what different colours look like. This device uses a webcam to observe the world around the user (blind and colour blind) and make their lives slightly better. The device identifies the colours of objects that come in front of it, and then using a speaker the colours are told to the user. Using this information, the user can decide which coloured clothes to wear, how their room looks and basically get an intuitive feel of how the world around them is. It is primarily built for those who aren't blind by birth, so that they know what different colours look like.

(some part from the usability can be thrown in here) (object detection can be added to it later)

For most people, the lockdown represents a seismic shift in how we operate and interact as a civilization. Nevertheless, for blind people, the ramifications of social distancing go far beyond even that. The blind are rendered even more helpless. Simple tasks like even deciding which pills to take could become behemoth tasks.

This device uses a camera to observe the world around the user(blind and color blind) and make their lives better. It identifies the colors of objects that come in front of it, and then verbally communicates with the user. Using this information, the user can decide which colored clothes to wear, which pills to take, and basically 'see' how the world around them is, thus making them self-reliant.
