Project Axis is building AI-powered smart glasses for the visually impaired — real-time scene recognition, voice feedback, and navigation assistance embedded in a lightweight wearable frame. Powered by ESP32-S3 Sense and OpenAI.
Current assistive devices — white canes, guide dogs, and screen readers — are severely limited in their ability to interpret and describe visual environments in real time. They cannot identify faces, read labels, or describe scenes contextually.
Existing commercial solutions like OrCam cost upward of $4,500, placing them out of reach for the vast majority of those who need them most — especially in developing countries like Thailand, where we are based.
We believe every blind person deserves a device powered by the same AI breakthroughs reshaping the tech industry — at a price that makes it truly accessible.
Espressif's AIoT chip with dual-core Xtensa LX7, 8MB PSRAM, and native AI acceleration. Low cost, high performance — ideal for always-on edge processing in a wearable form factor.
Frames are captured, JPEG-compressed, and sent to OpenAI's Vision API over WiFi. GPT-4o interprets scenes with remarkable accuracy and returns natural, context-aware audio descriptions.
2MP CMOS sensor with auto-exposure and auto-white balance. Compact enough to integrate seamlessly into a glasses frame without sacrificing aesthetics or wearing comfort.
Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless streaming to bone-conduction headphones. WiFi for real-time OpenAI API calls. Single-button UX deliberately designed to be fully operable without sight.
Full team bios and academic advisor details available upon investor request.
We're actively seeking investors, advisors, and NGO partners. If you believe AI can transform lives for the blind, we'd love to show you our working prototype.
