eSight Are Changing Blind People’s Lives By Enabling them to see With Smartglasses

Over the years there has been amazing innovations that touches lives. Every once in a while, we see technology that is unlikely to actually be experienced by most people, but is truly transforms and change the life for selected number of people.
In the just concluded CES2018, eSight is one of the innovation that will transforms the lives of blind people. eSight is a pair of smart glasses that gives blind people the ability to see. That’s amazing enough, but the glasses — which look like a cross between PlayStation VR and the HushMe Mask, — are so effective that in some cases the previously blind person may have the best sight in the room when wearing them.

The eSight is a visor-like device worn on the head, with a pair of corrective glasses built in if they’re needed. A high-speed camera views the world around the wearer, projecting the image onto a pair of OLED screens, where special software enhances and cleans up the image. There’s no lag, the images produced don’t have a digital appearance, and because the visor can be lowered and lifted, peripheral vision isn’t ruined. It’s arguably the true definition of augmented reality.

Digital Trend reported that they met Rosa Henderson, who is legally blind and has been since birth, at CES 2018. She has been wearing eSight for several months, and her story is one that shows the human side of cutting-edge modern tech. She didn’t talk about how something helped her productivity, or solved a very specific problem, but about something that lets her live. She said eSight gives her control over everyday life, confidence, and independence like no other device before it. It enables her to do the everyday things most people take for granted.
Digital Trend, in their bid to buttress their point, gave an illustration, about Henderson.

Henderson talked about attending classes at college, where she would normally have to make special arrangements ahead of time to sit at the very front of the room, and often bring an assistant along to help with dictation and note-taking. That’s after making the journey to the college in the first place, which may have involved the help of other people, using a cane, or owning a service animal — and always required considerable planning. Not impossible, but hugely restrictive, and very reliant on others. It’s hard for sighted people to understand how difficult all this is. Imagine performing your everyday routine with your eyes closed, and it’s probably pretty similar.
