Next week, at CES, Samsung’s C-Lab will show off a few new projects, including
company’s Relúmĭno smart glasses. These glasses focus on helping those with vision impairments see their surroundings more clearly.
The spectacles we are talking about are the first device to build on Samsung’s Relúmĭno mobile app. Samsung’s Relúmĭno mobile app was debuted during last year’s Mobile World Congress.
Samsung’s smart glasses work in conjunction with the mobile app (so your smartphone would be doing most of the work) to improve different kinds of visual situations that pose problems for those with eyesight issues.
“Regular mode” of these smart glasses makes blurry images more clearer by deciphering the outlines of objects in the person’s view and these glasses make them more prominent for the user.
Another mode dubbed in the smart glasses is “color invert mode”, it makes it easier for users to read text on a page or on a screen from normal distances, so they do not have to bring the page or screen closer to their face. It also does display text with high contrast to further improve the reading experience of the users.
While the demo video does show the technology used with a Samsung Gear VR, the company is on the way to develope Relúmĭno sunglasses as a lighter, more convenient alternative that could be used in outdoor settings.
