This Wearable Camera ‘Sees’ For Blind People

By Pesala Bandara


A start-up has developed a matchbox-sized wearable camera that “sees” for visually-impaired people.


The “Seekr” wearable camera, which is being developed by Hong Kong-based startup Vidi Labs, is a compact AI-powered device designed to assist visually impaired individuals by audibly describing their surroundings.


The Seekr can be clipped onto the user’s clothing or held in one hand. It features a depth-sensing camera, microprocessor, battery, and Bluetooth module, which pairs with a smartphone app to provide voice cues through a Bluetooth earpiece.
