eSight

eSight is a wearable electronic visual aid designed to assist individuals with low vision. It is a headset that incorporates a high-definition camera and a display screen positioned in front of the user's eyes. The device captures the user's surroundings and magnifies them, displaying the enhanced image on the screen. This magnification can be adjusted to suit the user's specific visual needs.

The eSight device is designed to be hands-free, allowing users to maintain normal activities like reading, watching television, and interacting with their environment. It can be used by individuals with a wide range of vision impairments, including macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. The device features adjustable brightness, contrast, and color settings to further optimize the viewing experience for each user.

Operationally, the camera on the eSight captures a live video feed, which is then processed and displayed on two high-resolution OLED screens. Users can control zoom levels and other visual settings using buttons located on the device. The goal of eSight is to provide a more accessible and independent life for those experiencing vision loss, enabling them to see details that would otherwise be missed. It is a tool that aims to bridge the gap created by visual impairment.
