Everyone deserves
an independent life
This project was for a Typography for Digital Product Design class that focuses on human-centered design thinking and problem-solving.
Problem
People with visual impairment experience difficulties living visual centric society. Moreover, our idea of helping is not their idea of helping.
Solution
Introducing iVision, a multi-sensory digital assistant powered by AI. iVision’s built-in cameras can read text and detect people, as well as survey environmental surroundings. iVision can guide you via neutral language or haptic feedback depending on your environment and preference. iVision can be activated using gesture or voice command.

Polarized Sunglass Lenses

Polarized sunglass lenses has matte finish and are darker than non-polarized sunglasses.
Darker lenses don’t necessarily provide better UV protection and may even reduce visibility.
Opacity-controllable Lenses
which provides 100% protection against UVA, UVB and UVC rays.
It is important to use the right level of optimal lens darkness that provide the most visibility and comfort.
(Out of all colors, black lenses can be used in a wider variety of situations compared to others.)
