How Electronic Glasses will Impact Education

2

The FutureWhen Christopher Ward saw his mother for the first time, he re-marked on how pretty she was. Prior to that day, the 12 year old’s legal blindness had kept his mother’s face a mystery to him. But with the assistance of eSight, a pair of electronic glasses that process live video stream, he interacted visually with the world around him in ways he was never able to before.

THE SOLUTION:

People with low vision or those considered legally blind account for 86% of the visually impaired. Historically, the only solution for these impairments has been surgical. Now, with the advent of digital technology, tech-based solutions have been developed to improve their quality of life.

Some Digital Solutions...include text-to-speech software and CCTVs that magnify written text. However, these are single use alternatives. Electronic glasses, on the other hand, offer greater versatility as they rapidly adjust to the wearer’s needs. For example, e-glasses enable rapid switches between near, mid-range and long-range vision. If instituted in classrooms, this versatility could have a major impact on education for the blind.

Quality of life is a serious issue for those with visual disabilities. For instance, a large percentage of the visually impaired live below the poverty line and have no more than a high school diploma. Ensuring that they can access tools that augment the learning experience is the key to resolving this issue.

The Main Hurdle...when it comes to implementing electronic glasses, whether it be for education-al purposes or personal use, is the cost. At the moment, eSight glasses can cost $15,000 in the U.S when not covered by insurance. Virtual reality headsets, by comparison, can range between $20 for Google Cardboard to $799 for the HTC Vive.

While eSight currently offers free demos of the product to raise awareness, there is a large waitlist of potential clients who cannot afford the glasses and have to rely on crowdsourcing.

The high cost of e-glasses certainly makes them inaccessible to the average individual, but it also ensures that only the best funded schools will have the resources to integrate them into the classroom.

6

Before e-glasses can become a life-changing reality, the price will have to be ex-ponentially reduced. If recent tech trends persist, we may see a more advanced version of electronic glasses in years to come, at a price the average person can afford. For now, we can only hope.
