Blind people can now effectively ‘see’ thanks to a brilliant new British invention glasses

Yeepeee! The glasses, which contain tiny cameras, can identify everything from shop doorways to the contents of a fridge – giving a verbal commentary through a phone app and earpiece.

Users can even have printed text read out loud simply by pointing at the words, while those with partial sight can zoom in as they need.

The smart glasses, sold under the brand GiveVision have been developed by UK company Vision Technologies using cameras and artificial intelligence software similar to that pioneered by Google Glass..Glasses that will enable blind people to 'see' objects..

Fans of the Star Trek: The Next Generation might spot a resemblance to the device used by the blind character Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge (pictured)

Once an object or street scene has been recorded, subsequent encounters are announced through an earpiece. 

The wearer can also tag images of a person’s face by speaking their name out loud while filming, adding snippets of information and filing in a contacts list. 

The high-tech glasses can be taught to recognise everything from the entrance and type of shop to bus stops, the number of an approaching bus and any empty seats on it. 

The system, being tested by 1,000 users, is expected to cost between £50 and £75 a month and could be included in mobile phone packages from next year.

So lets start saving!!! To help buy to the blind around us.
