arXiv:2607. 03213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present OpenGlass, an open-source, privacy-oriented, local-first system for low-latency multimodal visual assistance, with a primary focus on blind and low-vision users.
arXiv:2607. 16222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents ARGO, a smart eyewear platform designed to bridge ergonomic comfort, high computational throughput, and energy efficiency.
arXiv:2607. 02371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over 285 million people worldwide live with a visual impairment, for whom everyday tasks such as avoiding obstacles, locating personal belongings, recognizing familiar faces, or handling cash remain persistent obstacles to personal autonomy.
This paper introduces an Edge AI system that classifies sleep and wake states on constrained devices using a multimodal pipeline on an ESP32‑S3 microcontroller. It fuses inertial head‑movement sensing with visual pose classification, running in parallel under FreeRTOS to meet real‑time constraints. The two‑stage detection achieves 96.5 % accuracy for motion‑based detection and 89 % for pose classification, proving robust binary sleep‑wake classification in mobile scenarios.
For a wheelchair user, a standard blue line on a map is often a broken promise. While platforms like OpenStreetMap (OSM) successfully capture where a path is, they frequently fail to convey how it physically feels to travel on it.
