The goal of vision assistance technology is to support people with vision impairment or complete loss of vision in their everyday life. In this video, Professor Alireza Darvishy of the ZHAW School of Engineering discusses what’s important in designing vision-assistive technology.
On the Road to 2024, we’re encouraging teams to develop new technologies – from robotic guide dogs and smart canes to mobile apps – that can assist people in everyday tasks like picking clothing or navigating a food shop. Our competition tasks challenge researchers to improve and fine-tune their technology and accelerate assistive device development.
