An Italian technology startup called Eyra Ltd will soon release a wearable device known as the Horus that allows the visually impaired to explore public space beyond the limitations of the walking cane. "The white cane is not enough because it only solves the issue of detecting obstacles touching the ground," said Saverio Murgia, CEO and co-founder of Eyra. "It can never detect obstacles like tree branches or cars parked near crosswalks."
This new headset and pocket computer, which hits the market in January, is meant to act like an audio personal assistant—it reads out words from books and public signs, detects obstacles and has a facial recognition feature. Worn like a pair of headphones and powered by a smartphone in your pocket, it has two cameras placed in the headset to capture 3D images of the environment, sends them to the Tegra pocket computer (the size of a smartphone), and translates it into sound.
