AI-Powered Smart Sunglasses for Women's Safety and Blind Assistance: An Innovative Wearable Technology Approach

Abstract

Smart sunglasses integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and advanced object detection technologies offer a comprehensive solution to enhance safety and independence for women and visually impaired individuals. Utilizing the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm, these intelligent wear ables provide real-time object detection and audio feedback, enabling visually impaired users to navigate complex environments safely by identifying obstacles such as vehicles and pedestrians. The innovative design incorporates a voice-activated SOS alert system with GPS/GSM tracking, allowing immediate location sharing with emergency contacts during potentially dangerous situations. Integrated health monitoring sensors continuously track vital signs, providing proactive medical support and alerting caregivers during critical moments. An AI-powered virtual assistant with GPT integration enables hands-free communication, message sending, weather checking, and notifications, transforming these smart sunglasses into a multifunctional assistive device. This research demonstrates how converging technologies can create powerful wearable solutions that simultaneously address safety, health monitoring, and productivity challenges.
