P-eye

Affordable Vision Assistance Tool

P-eye is a 3D-printed pair of glasses that utilize cloud computing services deployed on AWS and Google Cloud Platform to analyze image content and relay it back in an audio format. It is designed for people who are visually impaired to recognize objects, printed words, and facial expressions.

The smallest computer in the world, Raspberry Pi zero

Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 was selected due to its decent amount of utility and small form factor. To capture image content the P-eye uses the Raspberry Pi HD Camera v2 board. Learn more
