Real-time object recognition on wearable devices

The goal of the project is to implement real-time state of the art object recognition models on wearable devices. These devices aim to help people living with a visual disability by providing a description of their outdoor environment and offer navigation guidance. This would improve the experience of the users by allowing them to perform usual day-to-day tasks with much more ease and safety.
