INTELLIGENT GLASSES FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED
First Claim
1. A method for communicating navigation information on a physical environment to a user, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a server computer, at least one digital image of a physical environment of the user captured by one or more digital video devices;
converting, by the server computer, the at least one digital image into a three-dimensional image;
analyzing, by the server computer, the three-dimensional image using object analysis to generate output data, wherein the output data corresponds to the physical environment;
determining, by the server computer, at least one device associated with the user; and
formatting, by the server computer, the output data for use with the at least one device, wherein the at least one device is capable of providing to the user a spatial map of the physical environment created by an electrical stimulation pad, and receiving a touch from a user on a surface of the electrical stimulation pad corresponding to an object represented in the spatial map of the physical environment.

Abstract
An approach for communicating navigation information on a physical environment to a user. The approach includes a computer receiving digital images of a physical environment of the user captured by digital video devices and converting the digital images into a three-dimensional image. The approach includes the computer analyzing the three-dimensional image using object analysis to generate output data, wherein the output data corresponds to the physical environment and determining at least one device associated with the user. The approach includes the computer formatting the output data for use with at least one device, wherein the at least one device is capable of providing to the user a spatial map of the physical environment created by an electrical stimulation pad, and receiving a touch from a user on a surface of the electrical stimulation pad corresponding to an object represented in the spatial map of the physical environment.
