ALIVEAN

greetings ladies and gentlemen

i would like you all to put your phones

aside for just one minute

and close your eyes and i want you to

picture something

that you really cherish a walk in a pub

stroll on the beach laughter of your

children

or maybe something you really enjoy

during the beautiful lunch you just had

now why are you picturing that image

in your head with your eyes closed i ask

any one of you

to get up from your seat and make it all

the way to your kitchen

without hitting any obstacles in the way

it

seems a little bit difficult at least

for majority of us

what you just experienced are the lives

of

285 million visually impaired

in the world my vision is to enable the

light of tomorrow

to allow them to see with the help of

their ears

and mouth but the question arrives

how i’m looking and developing assistive

technology

to help the visually impaired i’m not

here to replace

walking sticks or dining dogs no i need

to work complimentary to them

we basically want to increase the kinds

of information

that they can attain about their

vicinity with the help of our software

ladies and gentlemen i present to you a

live

the vision of tomorrow with the help of

our glasses we are capable of taking in

visual information

right around us and converting it into

audio information with the help of our

software

and then presenting it to our users

through any of these

and how exactly we do the seamless

processing of information

and what kinds of information will be

provided

well that brings me to the first feature

a live detect now a typical image

classifier would require you to take a

picture of something wait for about five

to ten seconds

and then tell you what you’re looking at

but

we wanted to be instantaneous which is

why we created

real time classification what it

basically means is that

when a person walks into the room points

its camera it will instantly start

recognizing objects

and one with the highest probability

will be spoken out

and this basically helps reduce the

chances of them colliding into the

objects

and help them understand what’s laid out

in the table without actually having to

touch anything now

while alive and can identify objects we

want to make it more

personalized and that’s why we

incorporate machine

learning which means after scanning

let’s say

your t-shirt it will no longer find

identify it as

t-shirt but as your white

t-shirt let me show you an example if

you look at the screen over there

the first image is of a highlight and

it’s identified as a heart but if you

look at the orange highlight over there

we trained alive to identify it as

brittle’s orange highlight

and the same thing could be applied to

t-shirts in your wardrobe

faces of your friends or medication when

we talk about

older generation and there are millions

of users

but you can add your own belongings to

your own personal library

making each product personalized

what makes the conversation live of

course the content and

i’m the visual cues i might say i’m fine

all right and i’m fine

i thought about this and that’s exactly

why i created the third feature

emotion senses it basically gives the

user information

about the happiness and so and when the

person is talking

it’s constantly tracking their face and

if the person is smiling elijah will

increase the happiness ratio

and our user will get to know how the

person is reacting to what they’re

saying

in the future we are planning on

developing our

own virtual assistant named olivia

olivia

will be your own personal assistant

controlled by voice comments and you’ll

be able to access every single feature

that i have mentioned previously

and secondly indoor map well

my goal is to have a live game talk to

you

like a gym and when you ask a librarian

how to get from point a to let’s see

your kitchen

it will tell you exact number of steps

and directions together

so you will say little this is just

another tech product what i’m presenting

in front of you

no my friends this is not just a product

this is a thinking

which is very near to my heart and most

of the products are not designed in

keeping

the challenging visually impaired in the

mind

i want to make this into movement we

want to start a movement which is

help visually impaired in the long run

ladies and gentlemen we have

learned to make a change we need to take

everyone along we have

learned that these technologies are not

just reserved for googles and test laws

and apples of the world

but for everyone i invite you to a

change

to be part of this movement to change

the lives of visually impaired

i invite you to allah

this was predominate and that was my

time thank you
