What we offer

FogEr iGlasses
Solution for Blind, Visually Impaired, and Deaf-and-Blind People
smart glasses with two high definition
cameras providing output video streaming;
- processing module that performs
streaming and scene recognition (can
be either built-in or developed as
smartphone application, using iOS or
Android OS);
- control module performing for easy
setup and configuration of the device
(also based on smartphone);
The processing unit is trained using artificial intelligence and neural network models to recognize dynamic scenes, objects, faces, text, etc., and to convert them to audio messages for blind persons or to specific vibrations for deaf-and-blind persons. The vibration device can also be built into the handle of the white-and-red cane.
4. Basic functionality:

4.1. Dynamic scenes recording and
recognition.
4.2. Object recognition within the scene.
4.3. Event calls - conversion of the
closest recognized object to audio
message.
4.4. Text recognition for a few languages
(English, Spanish, and German) and
its conversion to audio message.
4.5. Face, currency, and color
recognition.

Target group

Blind and visual impaired people.

Challenges

To develop a working commercial prototype.

Our Story

FogEr-iSoft, LLC is startup company registered in the Delaware, USA. The company is focused on development of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI / ML) powered digital solutions to help people, who are blind or have low vision. This is a fast-growing population that all too frequently overlooked and chronically underserved. According to the World Health Organization, there are over 43 million blind people in the world. The number of visually impaired people is close to 1 billion individuals. In the United States, approximately 6 million people have vision loss, and about 1 million are completely blind. Vision loss and blindness can affect individuals of all ages, with more than 1.6 million people under the age of 40 experiencing these conditions.
Our founders and CEOs, Roman Erenshteyn, Ph.D. and Georgi Fogel, bring experience in applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, neural networks, machine and deep learning, system analysis, programming, as well as corporate law and marketing. Our development team consists of three contractors, including team leader, having strong experience in electronics, computer vision, and software development.
