Description
Summary:Since 1946 methods for sensory substitution of vision has been studied; however, half a century after the beginning of this line of research, this keep been a massive problem in a world with about 50.6 million people with irreversible blindness. This research presents how self-help devices for visually impaired are approach in recent years and proposes a new approach based on object recognition with deep learning. Through it, it is possible to perceive the trends in this line of research, how devices obtain information from the environment, how they interact with users, and other aspects - pointing essential factors to all those who research or wish to study this area.
