Onton Glass is developing a type that can translate words into sounds for people with dyslexia or vision problems, Verge said on Feb. 27.

The camera is equipped with two small cameras with headphones on either side. One side of the lens acts as a mirror to reflect the human eye so that the camera can track the movement of the eye and blink.

The user just needs to look at the text and blink the eye to record the image that appears ahead. This image is then transmitted to the Raspberry Pi cloud system, analyzes the words and then translates into sound and broadcasts through the headset. If the system can not read the words received, the remote control personnel will seek to resolve. Experts have begun to research Onton Glass since 2012.
