Project Overview

• Engineering solutions are aiming to help people with disabilities to


overcome their challenges.

• 285 million people worldwide are estimated to be visually impaired,


39 million of them are blind and 246 million have low vision [1].

• In the United States for example the blind unemployment rate reaches
75% [2].

• New aids and technologies developed for the visually impaired are
considered expensive at an average price range from $200 - $3000.
