Horus has developed a wearable assistant for blind and visually impaired individuals for transforming visual information into voice messages. The device is made up of a band that wraps around the back of the head, with earpieces and two side-by-side cameras on one end. The cameras keep a close eye on what's in front of the wearer and dictate what it sees through the earpiece, which uses bone conduction to bypass the ear canal and stimulate ear bones directly. The device is connected to a separate unit housing the processor and battery via a 1-meter cable. Users can adjust the volume and change settings with a set of buttons on both the processor unit and the headband. The company claims that the solution comes embedded with an NVIDIATegra GPU that powers the deep learning algorithms allowing the same to recognize who and what it's looking at, and at the press of a button the device can describe the scene before it is detailed, down to the furniture and people present.
