AI Smart Glasses Distributed to Visually Impaired in Nellore
In Nellore, special glasses with artificial intelligence were given to people who have very little or no vision.
These glasses help them recognize things and people, read, and move around safely.
The glasses were given to 220 people, and they were taught how to use them.
Important people like the Endowments minister and the heads of the organizations that gave the glasses were there.
The glasses cost a lot, but they will help the people use them every day.
The organizers said they will do more of these programs in other places.
They also started building a new road in the area.
AI smart glasses were distributed to 220 visually impaired individuals in Nellore.
The glasses cost ₹30,000 each and support object and face recognition, reading assistance, and safe navigation.
The distribution was organized by the KIMS Foundation and the Achala Group.
Beneficiaries received hands-on training on using and maintaining the devices.
