In Biovision, we want to develop new augmented reality systems for low-vision people, to facilitate scene interpretation by enhancing important scene characteristics. Research and investigations are conducted using automotive industry HW solutions, thanks to a partnership with Bosch Visiontec. Our goal is to investigate how such hardware could be used to design efficient vision aid systems. The case-study that we are considering is the one of improving the social interaction which is amongst the first reported needs. We are studying methods to selectively enhance faces in real time, thus allowing low-vision people to better capture faces and emotions of their interlocutors. This work is also conducted in collaboration with Centre hospitalier Pasteur 2 (service d’ophtalmologie, Nice, France) and ”27Delvalle” (Centre d’Innovation Santé de la ville de Nice, France) in order to have feedback on our prototype as we develop it.
