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 device 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, the Atheia tracks which locations the user frequents the most often, using this information to say where specific objects were last seen.
Built-In Audio
All audio output and descriptions are announced by the the crisp speaker embedded in the device, allowing for a clear and immersive audio experience.
Easy Setup
The device requires little to no initial setup, however adding faces to your device 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.

Mobile App for Atheia
The Atheia app has the same high-accuracy models and features as the physical device, just optimized for the iPhone framework. Utilizing Apple's revolutionary technology in depth measurements and Augmented Reality, the Atheia app simplistically conveys a user's environment for more informed user decisions.
