Artha France
Developer of a wearable assistive system for people with visual impairment that converts 3D visual information into tactile patterns on a lumbar haptic belt. The system combines an eyeglass-mounted sensor, embedded algorithms for real-time environment interpretation, a wearable mechanical haptic display, and a companion mobile application. The organization also works on industrialization, supplier management and regulatory conformity for product commercialization.
