American scientists have created a camera which is helpful to read for people with very poor vision.
Scientists from the U.S. created a small camera for people with poor eyesight. The device can give hope to those who suffer from glaucoma, and similar diseases.
The team has developed a compact camera that is designed to help people with low vision. The device is mounted on glasses and uses a system of character recognition, and then “reads” the user text, which is hovering over the lens. The gadget is connected via a wire with a small computer,battery and earphone.
However, he can recognize faces and logos of major brands. This was reported by the journal JAMA Ophthalmology. The creation of such a device was carried out by scientists from the University of California, located in United States. One of the authors of the project Professor mark Mannis noted that their camera gives hope to many people suffering from glaucoma or other diseases that cause vision loss.
In addition, the device does not occupy too much space. Its battery can easily fit in a pocket or on the belt of his pants
