A couple from Barcelona started a company to help their son, who has low vision, navigate his surroundings with greater ease.
He and his wife, Constanza Lucero designed a pair of smart glasses that use artificial intelligence and augmented reality to indicate oncoming obstacles to wearers.Puig and Lucero realized he was falling over a lot and had problems navigating stairs and crowded spaces. After seeing several doctors, their son was diagnosed with low vision.
In their current version, Biel Glasses' smart glasses look like a pair of VR goggles strapped with a small box that helps to map the user's surroundings. The next step is to make them more user-friendly and boost their connectivity."We require very low-latency for our glasses, so we are investing in 5G and also want to make the glasses smaller," Puig explained, though he said they depend on display technology innovations to make this happen.
