BRAVIS Development of a Haptic Display and Vision System for the Blind
Coordinator: BAUM Engineering srl (RO)
We are proposing to develop a powerful technology that will give the sight-impaired a detailed view of their environment through a sophisticated imaging system displaying on a tactile interface. The system will require no special environmental adaptations and will be totally non-obtrusive. The user should be able to participate in a similar way to sighted persons in normal activities without any special and discriminatory recognition. The technology will enable both depth representation and 2D contrast imaging with the additional functionalities of Braille and alphanumeric outputs of signage,…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €1.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2009-09-16 to 2011-09-15.
