The .lumen glasses are an advanced assistive technology device designed to enhance mobility and independence for visually impaired individuals. This wearable solution utilizes artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous driving technologies to provide users with improved spatial awareness and navigation capabilities.

Key features:

- Pedestrian Autonomous Driving AI: Computes safe walking paths 100 times per second, offering guidance that surpasses traditional mobility aids.
- Haptic Feedback Navigation: Conveys directional information and obstacle alerts through precise vibrations against the forehead.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit 80% of adult heads comfortably after extensive testing.
- Durability: Engineered to withstand daily use through hundreds of design iterations.
- Software Updates: Regularly expanded capabilities to assist with reading, shopping, hiking, and potential job opportunities.

How it works:
1. Six cameras and sensors map the user's surroundings in real-time.
2. Embedded computer vision and machine learning process environmental data.
3. AI generates navigational commands based on the processed information.
4. Haptic feedback communicates directions and obstacle alerts to the user.

Use of AI:
The .lumen glasses incorporate AI for real-time environment analysis, obstacle detection, and safe path calculation. The AI processes data from multiple sensors to provide accurate navigation guidance.

AI foundation model:
The glasses utilize a proprietary AI system specifically developed for pedestrian navigation and obstacle avoidance in various environments.

Target users:
- Visually impaired individuals seeking improved mobility
- Those looking for an alternative to traditional guide dogs or white canes

How to access:
The .lumen glasses are currently available for registration for clinical investigation. General public availability is expected in the latter half of 2024.
