This podcast episode features George Abraham interviewing Tim Vedanayagam about his invention, Hearsight, a device designed to assist visually impaired people in their daily lives.
Hearsight offers a variety of features to help users navigate their surroundings. The Walk feature uses sonar to detect obstacles in front of the user and provides warnings. Object detection identifies objects within the user's field of view. Go See combines these features, cycling through object identification and obstacle warnings to give the user a comprehensive understanding of their surroundings.
Hearsight can also identify currencies, including their value, and recognize up to 200 faces. It even boasts color identification capabilities. Notably, all these features are available even when offline.
In online mode, Hearsight transforms into Hearsight Vision AI. This mode offers even more functionalities, such as object identification, scene description, and text reading. Additionally, a voice-assisted chatbot can answer questions using Google Search.
For situations where a more personalized touch is needed, Hearsight provides a Live volunteer help feature called C4B. This feature allows users to connect with a designated person, like a family member. This designated person can see a live video stream of the user's surroundings and offer guidance.
Hearsight is multilingual, supporting English, Hindi, and four other regional languages. It can even translate between more than 40 languages.
If you're interested in purchasing Hearsight, the MRP is 35,000 INR, but there's currently a 10% discount. You can order it from their website - www.hearsightaudiovision.com, or by calling 9940900174. The device comes with a one-year warranty and free software updates.
