| Abstract | ||||
| Pain and suffering are almost inevitable and part of every human being‟s life cycle. Blind and Alzheimer's patients are no different.; they face multiple obstacles daily, including vision, memorization, and accessibility hardships. Despite the development of contemporary tools such as smart canes and personal assistant robots that help them meet their needs, these devices do not suffice those needs in terms of both: the level of assistance and cost-effectiveness. Fortunately, among the recent inventions, smart glasses are one of the wearable devices that are capable of handling not only an extensive range of computing activities but also an immense support to patients. But, the main drawback of smart glasses is that their features are limited to their design. Hence, this project proposes a new, insightful design for assistive smart glasses called „Nour‟, offered for blind and Alzheimer's patients with an external mobile application and an additional study for the glasses‟ commercial availability. | ||||
