These glasses give a precious help to those who can not see

A Japanese company may have created the ideal solution for those who are visually impaired. This solution takes the form of glasses capable of transforming words into audio, with the glasses reading whatever is being read at the moment.
The glasses in question give the name of Oton Glass and have been in development since 2012 and have now reached the crowdfunding platform Campfire where the goal of $ 93,500 (just over 75 thousand euros) was put.
The operation seems to be simple. Users look at text, blink their eyes and a photo is captured. It is this photograph that is then sent to a Raspberry Pi for the text to be analyzed and then converted to voice, which is reproduced through the two small phones integrated into the glasses.
