Nigerian Inventor Develops AI Glasses to Aid Navigation for the Blind

Khalifa Aminu, a 20-year-old inventor from Kano, Nigeria, is developing AI-powered smart glasses designed to assist blind and visually impaired individuals in detecting obstacles, navigating, and staying connected with caregivers. The device integrates sensors, GPS, and AI voice technology to provide real-time assistance.

The glasses can detect objects, provide location information, and send the user's location to a caregiver's phone via WhatsApp or email if they become lost. Aminu's project was inspired by observing the mobility challenges faced by visually impaired individuals in his community. (newsminimalist.com)
