ABSTRACT
This paper presents a detailed review of "The Third Eye," an assistive
technology designed for individuals with visual impairments. The study explores how
artificial vision and machine learning enhance accessibility by enabling real-time object
detection, text recognition, and navigation assistance. Using advanced image
processing techniques, the device translates visual information into auditory feedback,
empowering users in their daily activities. The research further examines the
integration of smart wearable technology, highlighting its potential to improve
independence and quality of life. While demonstrating the effectiveness of this
solution, the paper also addresses key challenges such as hardware limitations,
accuracy concerns, and user adaptability. Ultimately, the findings emphasize the need
for continuous refinement and user-centric innovation to maximize the impact of AI-
driven assistive tools for the visually impaired.

Assistive technology is revolutionizing the way individuals
with disabilities interact with their surroundings, and
innovations in this field continue to evolve.
The Third Eye leverages artificial vision and machine
learning to enhance accessibility for visually impaired
users, offering real-time object detection and text
recognition.
Researchers and developers are increasingly focusing on
AI-powered wearable devices that provide auditory
feedback and navigation assistance, helping users gain
greater independence
HISTORY
OF AI
•The origins of AI date back to early attempts to create
machines that mimic human intelligence through logic
and reasoning.
•It started with mythological automatons and early
mechanical inventions, later evolving into theoretical
foundations laid by pioneers like Alan Turing and John
McCarthy.
•Since the 21st century, breakthroughs in machine
learning, neural networks, and big data have propelled
AI to unprecedented levels, reshaping industries and
daily life.
HOW DOES AI WORK?
AI operates by utilizing vast datasets, advanced algorithms, and rapid computing power to
analyze and recognize patterns in information.
It enables machines to simulate human intelligence by learning from experience, making
predictions, and performing complex tasks with minimal human intervention.
Developing AI involves replicating cognitive functions such as problem-solving, decision-
making, and perception, allowing machines to exceed human efficiency in specific domains.
