Horus is a wearable personal assistant for people with visual impairment. Created by Swiss artificial intelligence company Eyra, the headset connects to a smartphone-sized control unit that users can keep in their pocket or bag. The cameras on the headset send images to the pocket computer where machine learning algorithms translate the information into real time audible descriptions. From navigating to reading texts and recognizing faces, Horus gets smarter with use.
