TransSense is a research based startup from DTU working on assistive technology for blind and visually impaired people. We are currently working on an AI powered wearable, which enables a transcended sensing of the physical environment. The technology entails build-in sensors and cameras that provide input to AI modules, which in return give the user feedback about what is present via vibrators and audio.
Our aim is to improve the everyday life of blind people by offering a smart-glove that can be used to search for objects/signs and provide independence when moving around unknown areas. We have interviewed 15 blind people and tested an early prototype with great feedback, and will now create a new prototype to validate the users and customers. The project is accepted into the Skylab Incubator, has received a startup grant, and has been positively received by the users, health care system and startup ecosystem.
