Lumo AI Smart Glasses Aid Low-Vision Users with Adaptive Guidance and Memory

Lumo, an innovative AI-driven smart glasses system tailored for individuals with low vision, was developed by Yue Fan, a UX designer at Samsung Health and a Master of Design graduate from UC Berkeley. This system supports users experiencing central vision loss and blurred vision by offering adaptive visual guidance through both smart glasses and a mobile application. It assists in identifying objects, understanding the environment, and remembering daily tasks. A standout feature, 'Living Memory,' allows users to record interactions for future reference. The design process involved research with low-vision individuals, focusing on personalized help. Lumo has received accolades such as the Red Dot Design Award and K-Design Award, enriching discussions on inclusive design. The project was featured in designboom's DIY submissions, curated by Christina Vergopoulou.
