Atheia

Innovative Features

Facial Recognition

Recognizes faces of people you interact with everyday.

Text Reader

Scan text from anywhere and have it read to you.

Search Mode

Actively search for objects in your vicinity and know how far they are.

Real-Time

Results are produced within seconds through our onboard processing.

Real-Time Stereo Processing

Our app can process a stereo live stream in real-time allowing us to actively locate objects in 3D space. We do this by creating a depth map, which can retrieve the distances to objects in the picture, which is key to our search mode.

On Board Processing

Processing is done locally on the device instead of through cloud services to get faster and more reliable coverage anywhere you go.

Long Battery Life

Our low power and highly efficient ARM processor can run for extended periods of time under high load.

GPS Tracking

Using an on-board GPS, Atheia tracks which locations the user frequents. Using this information, we say where specific objects were last seen.

Haptic Feedback

Depth information captured by the phone is conveyed through varying intensity of haptic feedback, giving the user an additional level of spatial understanding.

Easy Setup

The app requires little to no initial setup, however adding faces for facial recognition will require some manual input through the app.

Voice Assistant

All commands can be issued via voice commands, simplifying the operation of the device and allowing for a hands-free operation to maximize the ease of use.

State of the Art Computer Vision

We use a combination of state of the art computer vision models, optimized to run on our device. Through our custom algorithms, we are able to increase the accuracy of the classifications by deploying machine learning techniques.
