The Bip2See project is a collaborative work developed by the Graphic Technologies Research Center (CITG) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Its main goal is the creation of an integrated cognitive system that helps users with visual impairments, autism or Alzheimer's to better orientation and recognition of their environment. This is a bionic device with non-invasive technology, which uses an IP camera to capture and transform spatial information into a three-dimensional sound map, transmitting to user through bone headphones.
The system is also capable of detecting human faces, recognizing objects or money and reading text, communicating through voice commands. All of this is managed by an application for smartphone and tablet.
On the detailed design, it was studied the functionality, ergonomics and interaction with disabled users. The result is a device with a remarkable emotional design, based on subtle curves easy to navigate by touch, which communicate with the interactive elements.
It was experienced with the difference of texture and material in buttons and earphones, made of rough silicone, which stand out from the rest of the frame. The lenses, inspired by sports aesthetics, provide full frontal coverage, with an adaptative silicone nosepad.
