VISION

V isually Impaired​ Spatially Interactive Orientation Network

Project Description

VISION

VISION is an augmented system that enables visually impaired individuals to play a game of billiards. VISION has a sister project, SCRATCH (group 17), that work in tandem to enable a user to play a simplified version of 8-ball pool. VISION incorporates computer vision, artificial intelligence, Bluetooth sensors, speakers, routing algorithms, and other modern technology to enable visually impaired individuals to enjoy one of society's favorite pastimes.

The computer vision system will use OpenCV to determine the color and position of the billiard balls. The artificially intelligent shot selection algorithm will determine which shot to take and where the user should stand and aim to complete the shot. The user localization system will use a Swift application and ultra-wideband beacons to track the user. The user guidance system will use a speaker array to guide a player around the table.
