AI-powered smart glasses for visually impaired users in Rwanda # 🥽 Inzozi Glasses ## Bilingual AI-Powered Smart Glass System for Visually Impaired Users in Rwanda ### Project Overview Inzozi Glasses (meaning "Dreams" in Kinyarwanda) is a wearable smart system that helps visually impaired users navigate indoors, recognize faces, detect emotions, and receive voice guidance in both Kinyarwanda and English. ### Features - **Object Detection (YOLOv8n)** — Detects everyday objects in view - **Face Recognition** (`face_recognition`/dlib) — Recognizes registered people from `known_faces/` - **Emotion Detection** (DeepFace) — Detects emotions on recognized faces - **Scene Recognition** — Classifies Indoor / Outdoor - **Distance Alerts** — Optional Arduino ultrasonic sensor + vibration motor for obstacle warnings - **Bilingual Voice** — Kinyarwanda + English text-to-speech and (in the standalone app) live language switching ### Live Demo drive.google.com ### Final Product Demo drive.google.com --- ## Read this before "How to Use" — there are two runnable systems here, not one This repo actually contains **two separate ways to run Inzozi Glasses**, plus a Windows `.exe` build of one of them. They are not the same thing, and the old "open `index.html` to see the complete simulation" instruction undersold what's actually here — one of these two is a real, working system, not a simulation. | | What it is | How you run it | What powers detection | |---|---|---|---| | **A. Standalone hardware app** (the full-feature system) | Phone camera feed + optional Arduino distance sensor + face recognition + emotion detection + scene recognition + bilingual voice, shown in a desktop OpenCV window | `python smart_glasses_phone_fixed.py`, **or** double-click `InzoziGlasses.exe` if you have the built package | YOLOv8n, `face_recognition`/dlib, DeepFace — all running locally, no cloud calls | | **B.
