AI-powered smart glasses for visually impaired

A young innovator from Ngxamkwana, outside Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape, has turned a childhood promise to his blind grandmother, into a groundbreaking solution for the visually impaired. Through his company, Spectacles4TheBlind, he developed AI-powered smart glasses designed to help visually impaired people navigate their surroundings more independently. The innovation has earned him a place among the world's top 150 startups at the LEAP Startup Competition, with an invitation to showcase the technology in Hong Kong in July. Emihle Stali needs financial help to cover travel and accommodation costs, so he can represent South Africa on a global stage.
