Open Smart Glasses for Blind/Low Vision

What it does

## Project Overview

This project develops an open-source solution for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) smart glasses. Our goal is to create affordable, customizable, and accessible smart glasses using 3D-printed frames, off-the-shelf batteries, and a Raspberry Pi. This project is an entry for the Gemini API Developer Competition, showcasing the potential of AI in assistive technology.
