Jack is a high schooler, after testing out my prototype, he provided positive feedback and actively volunteered to join my project.

I joined a community service called ORBIS at SAS in 9th grade, and have been teaching visually impaired people in this organization. Through interacting with the visually impaired children, I learned about their challenges, especially in recognizing scene text in their daily lives, such as package labels and street signs. Here is the app that I have developed for the visually impaired and here is the camera attached to an ordinary pair of glasses. During my presentation at the CIIE, I was able to interact with many people who were interested in my product and wanted to collaborate with me to further improve the system for the visually impaired and spread it to other users to help them in their daily lives. I am very grateful for the SAS community and the STEM atmosphere.

High school student Jasmine has developed an assistance system for the visually impaired to help them recognize scene curved text. This assistance system can help the visually impaired achieve more convenience in a way that differs from the traditional forms of assistance provided to the visually impaired. This includes using computer vision to help them see things they might not have been able to recognize before.

With the help of Intel’s technology, this assistance system can gather the information in the environment that the visually impaired might need. Many of the existing technology used to help the visually impaired are limited in terms of the recognition accuracy, some things might not be correctly recognized by the technology. Through a more technological method, this product can capture the elements in the visually impaired’s environment that is needed.
