Augmented Reality Electronic Glasses Prototype to Improve Vision in Older Adults

Abstract

In this article, we focus on the elderly who suffer from low vision. We seek to design Augmented reality electronic glasses to help the elderly who suffer from vision problems, which causes a limitation when performing their daily activities, so this can affect their development in society causing serious physical and emotional damage, so we used a set of scientific articles that analyzed the percentage of visual impairment. Technology has demonstrated on numerous occasions that it can be a great ally for the health and well-being of the elderly. In this work, the objective is to design electronic glasses to help the elderly improve their vision. The methodology used is Design Thinking, which thanks to the phases of this methodology helps us to understand, collect information about the problem and give a solution, the result obtained is a prototype of electronic glasses in which it will benefit adults who suffer from low vision. As for the case study, we will show the design of the mobile application and the detailed development of the prototype.
