Learning platform for visually impaired children through artificial intelligence and computer vision

The topic Visual Disabilities and Computer Vision are the most researched topics of recent years. Researchers have been trying to combine two topics to create most usable systems to the visually disabled to aid them in their day to day tasks. In this research, we are trying to create an application which is targeting children between the age of 6–14 who suffers from visual disabilities to aid them in their primary learning task of learning to identify objects without a supervision of a third-party. We are trying to achieve this task by combining latest advancements of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence technologies by using Deep Region Based Convolutional Networks (R-CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Speech models to provide an interactive learning experience to such individuals.
