MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641021849 A) filed by Pes University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on Feb. 24, for 'a smart eye glass device for assisting a visually impaired user and its method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Manikandan J; Ms. Parthavi N R; Mr Revanth A H; and Mr Dheeraj G C.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a smart eye glass device and a method for assisting a visually impaired user. The device comprises a wearable frame having a front frame portion and temple arms, wherein a housing mounted on the front frame portion encloses a forward-facing camera for passive image capture. A central processing unit connected to the camera processes captured image frames to identify physical objects within a forward field of view using geometric and appearance-based feature extraction. The processing unit further computes an estimated distance of each identified object from the user based on calibrated monocular camera parameters and image-plane measurements, and generates spoken auditory notifications conveying object identity and distance in real time. A rechargeable power supply module integrated within a temple arm enables portable operation. An audio output interface provides speech-based cues near the user's ear, while a tactile push-button input allows mechanical toggling of device operational states."
