Smart AI-Assisted Spectacles for Visually Impaired Individuals: Real-Time Object Detection and Feedback System

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents the development of smart AI-assisted spectacles designed to improve mobility and safety for visually impaired individuals. The system integrates real-time object detection with audio feedback, enabling users to navigate their environments more effectively. Powered by YOLOv8 on a Raspberry Pi platform, the device detects nearby obstacles and provides audio alerts via Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS). This affordable, user-friendly solution aims to empower users with enhanced independence and situational awareness. Future enhancements include optimizing detection algorithms, reducing power consumption, and incorporating GPS for navigation. Index Terms--- Smart glasses, YOLOv8, object detection, Google Text-to-Speech, Raspberry Pi, assistive technology.
