Persona Insight
At the core of our design was understanding individuals with visual disabilities and the potential of assistive technologies. Niira glasses convert spatial and visual information into audio cues, empowering blind individuals. Using 3D cameras and software algorithms, the glasses transform spaces into abstract sound, allowing users to discern object details within a short to medium distance. This design aimed to empower blind individuals by providing them with a revolutionary tool for navigating the world.

This approach ensured that the Niira glasses not only delivered cutting-edge functionality but also exuded an elegant aesthetic that resonated with users.
