Week 2 (1/24-1/30)

Researching additional project ideas along with deeper research for the previous ideas.


IrisVision are electronic glasses for the blind and visually impaired. The technology is an innovative solution aimed to help people with eye problems such as, macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. A smartphone is used to attach to a VR headset which captures the scene around for a magnified view to the user.



MyEye2 are low vision glasses designed to make reading, writing, recognizing faces and carious other daily activities easier for visually impaired people. A light attachable camera distinguishes it from an ordinary pair of glasses which is mounted on the frame of the glasses.

Our idea behind the visual-impaired assistant is similar but improved. The design would be similar to the MyEye2 where is clips onto the glasses, but the product will have way more features. Our product will be able to assist the user to navigate through everyday life. For example, when walking down the assistant will be able to detect any object approaching and alert the user about the object. The assistant will provide the type of object approaching along with the direction it is approaching at. The assistant will also determine approaching cross walks as well as determining passing buildings.


Wireless power transfer:

Wireless power transfer works on the inductive power transfer principle, as found in the conventional transformers. The only difference is that while in the transformer the two coils are in very close proximity and contain a ferrite material to increase the coupling, inductive chargers have an air gap between the two coils. The process follows the following procedure:

  • The mains voltage is converted into alternating current, preferably, high-frequency AC

  • This current (the high-frequency AC) is transferred to the coil via transmitter circuit. This AC induces a magnetic field in the transmitter coil.

  • The induced magnetic field generates a current in the adjacent receiver coil.
