High-Level Project Summary
Have you ever thought about how blind people live? They are not the people who cannot see but they are the people that we can not see. Thus, I am working on the Eye in AI which is smart glass designed to help 46 Million people who severe blindness. The glass will work to transform the image meeting with the blind user into audio. I will also make sure that I have a facilitated and simple interference that is suitable for everyone. The glass can detect objects, faces, currency, and colors, and do OCR, telling you the date and time, all of that in Arabic which can make us succeed on google smart glasses. Finally, I am working now to add the Egyptian curriculum to it.

Detailed Project Description
In general,visually impaired people find it difficult to deal with travel and various
types of challenges in their daily lives. Most often,smart sticks are used to find
barriers and obstacles next to them. As a result, visually impaired people do not
know exactly what the challenges they are facing and must rely entirely on lead rods
and training to navigate safely and in the right direction. This project focuses on the
development of a guidance system that uses smart glasses in combination with
transforming image into an audio. My project allows visually impaired people to
know which obstacles are involved, as a result, it will help to perform daily tasks
such as recognizing others, identifying objects and colors. When the user tries to
reach the goal, he listens a voice that interprets the goal. the visually impaired hear
the user-recorded position instead of the alarm signal by smart ultrasonic sticks.
Space Agency Data
I did not use NASA data. NASA focuses on exploring space, no one cares about blind people, and that is why I decided to help them with my project.
Hackathon Journey
It was a really amazing journey.
