Contents / Description
This hands-on workshop will allow participants to experience firsthand how Spatial Computing and Mixed Reality can assist visually impaired individuals in mobility and navigation. Instead of just discussing the technology, attendees will actively engage in practical exercises to understand its real-world impact. Key activities include: – Live demonstration of our technology® – showcasing how the glasses detect obstacles, enhance vision, and provide real-time guidance. – Hands-on experience – participants (both sighted and visually impaired) will test the glasses in different mobility scenarios, simulating real-life challenges. – Guided feedback session – attendees will share their experiences and brainstorm potential improvements or additional use cases. – Q&A and discussion on the role of Spatial Computing in assistive technology. By participating, attendees will gain direct insight into the technology’s capabilities and explore its potential for broader applications in accessibility and rehabilitation.
