MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621095997 A) filed by New Era High School; Karthick Belligundu; and Sonal Shah on August 08, 2026, for Wearable Assistive System And Method For Providing Environmental Awareness To Visually Impaired Users.
Inventor includes Daivik Belligundu.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wearable assistive system (100) for providing environmental awareness to a visually impaired user. The system (100) comprises a wearable garment (102) supporting an image acquisition unit (104), a proximity sensing unit (106), a processing unit (108), a mode selection interface (110), and an output unit (112). The processing unit (108) includes an object interpretation module (114), a text interpretation module (116), and an audio guidance module (118). Based on a user-selected operational mode, the processing unit (108) selectively activates the object interpretation module (114) or the text interpretation module (116). In an object interpretation mode, surrounding objects are identified and associated with distance information to generate auditory guidance indicating object identity and proximity. In a text interpretation mode, textual information is recognized from captured image data and converted into auditory output, thereby facilitates independent navigation and improved environmental awareness for visually impaired users.
