Abstract

IT and communication systems are used in a wide range of our
lives. Therefore, we can not imagine our lives without IT and
communication systems.

From this point we got an idea to build an e-glass which utilizes
of an embedded system and neural networks,

however, this e-glass could be used by the blinds to assist
them in their ways without any assistants from other persons.
thus improving their mobility and independent living
Abstract

It is important to note that the hardware and
software components of the e-glass are not
expensive.

When this glass is used by the blinds it will
make them self confidence, let them walk
independently and increase their morale.
Introduction

The idea of building an e-glass it will be
treated as a first step in using the
technology as an integrated or replaceable
part of the damaged human neural system;
this will help to make the life easier for the
blinds.
Introduction

The proposed e-glass works through an
electronic circuit to scan and collect
information about the entire object which
could be found in front of the blind, then it will
analyse these objects to give a voice
command to the blind to keep away from
these obstacles (objects).
General View of the E-Glass

This e-glass works through the ultra sonic
waves by sending radar signals for distance
from 2 meter to 50 meters and 120 degrees
as a vertical and horizontal cover angle
along with 60 degrees to cover the right and
left, as a result, in total the cover angle will
be 270 degrees. Therefore, after receiving
the information from the radar system, they
will be analyzed in the artificial intelligence
software and produce a warning about any
obstacle objects through a headphone.
General View of the E-Glass

The characteristics of this e-glass is that it can
identify any small object with a 2 cm2 area or more
from 2 meters distance.

As a future work, this e-glass could be embedded to
the electronic devices within the cars. In addition, we
can develop the embedded electronic circuit
programs to receive the neural flows from the human
brain and use the pattern recognition to analyse the
objects as images.
How the E-Glass Works?

First phase:
putting the receiver (radar) on the glass and
analysing all the data which are collected
from the radar, this analysis could be done
through the first electronic circuit
programs, then an electronic signal will be
sent to the electronic
warning and
alarming device (the headphone).
How the E-Glass Works?

Second phase:
the electronic signal will be sent from the first
electronic circuit to the second electronic
circuit which has the artificial intelligence
system to give a scaled warning based on
the dangerous degree.

Conclusion

The research in the filed of using IT to
assist the special needs person is little
which make it distinctive work from the
social view. Therefore, within research we
just started a huge work to make the life of
the special needs person easier.
