Welcome to another episode of the Sight and Sound Technology podcast. We're gearing up for Sight Village Central, taking place this year on July 7th and 8th in Birmingham, and, on this, the first in a couple of episodes that you'll hear over the next week, we're unveiling some new and exciting technology that will be on our stand during the show.
We're delighted to be joined by friend of the show Pierre Kegels, and his colleague Karst Hoogsteen, who are with Stuart to talk about Luna Glasses.
Designed by Karst, who has retinitis pigmentosa, these inconspicuous smart glasses offer a life-changing solution for night blindness and low-light vision. They use a special camera and in-lens projectors to display brighter, colourized reality in real-time, boosting confidence without stigma.
Then, it's another friend of the show, when CEO of Kapsys Aram Hekimian makes a welcome return. Aram is with us to introduce KapX, a new wearable device for orientation and obstacle avoidance. Ideal for those needing confidence in outdoor navigation, KapX uses a lightweight headset with a camera and a pocket-sized computing unit. Its on-board AI provides real-time environment analysis, offering orientation guidance via TTS or 3D sound, notifying users of points of interest like crossings, and crucially, detecting and helping avoid hidden obstacles (like low branches or parked trucks) even if not specifically chosen by the user.
