Amazing Seeing Eye Shoes With Camera-Based AI Image Recognition to Assist the Visually Impaired

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

Austrian shoe company Tec-Innovation has partnered with students at the Graz University of Technology in Austria to implement camera-based AI image recognition into their line of shoes that are specifically made to help those who are visually impaired.
