Patent attributes
A system for assisting the visually impaired comprises one or more distance sensors, one or more electronic storage devices, one or more processors, and an output component. The one or more distance sensors are configured to make distance measurements between the distance sensor and one or more objects, the one or more electronic storage devices are operable to store boundaries defining a three-dimensional space, the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to the distance sensors and the electronic storage devices and are operable to receive distance measurements from the distance sensors and generate output signals related to the received distance measurements within the defined three-dimensional space. The output component is further operable to receive the output signals from the one or more processors and convert the output signals into a non-visual user output related to the received distance measurements.
