The SeeFar application consists of various heterogeneous modules, such as smart glasses, various sensors, processing units, smartphone applications etc. So, the integration of all these modules was a challenge during the project. For all possible integration strategies (“big bang”, “with the Stream”, incremental, Aggregates, Subsets, Threads or “Functional Chains”, top-down, bottom-up, sandwich or hybrid, Criterion Driven or “Critical Modules”, Continuous) for the SeeFar having considered…

Therefore, Cattolica University has asked Quantitas to formalize the agreement and accept the internship of the students giving them a chance…
3D technologies (i.e. 3D scanning, 3D modelling, 3D printing) lay at the core of the design of the frame for the proof-of-concept prototype. For 3D modelling, open-source software was selected to facilitate collaboration between all the partners involved, located at distant sites. The parts and components that will be mounted on the frame (e.g. AR lenses, electronic boards, etc.) were 3D-modeled using 3D scanning where…
Following researches and dialogue with partners, we have concluded that prototype D for clinical trials would be 3D printed. We discarded the moulding process because it was slow and it can take one or two months after the 3D design to get it. Therefore, we made a decision for the 3D printing option as faster and better for prototyping and low mass production. In-depth research…
On January 28th, See Far partner Peter Skov Jensen from Aarhus University Hospital gave an online lecture to the staff (Optometrists, occupational therapists, visual- and IKT-consultants) dealing with vision problems at CSH – Center for Sight and Accessibility Aids, located in Aarhus. (https://csh.aarhus.dk). CSH is a public institute that helps e.g. people with low vision by training them and giving them different kinds of tools…
Prof. Tsiknakis from FORTH, our project partner, presented in the EU&U conference the See Far project on 18th January 2021. The topic of the session was Recovery and Health and you can find out more information here: https://www.euandu.eu/ More than 1000 participants attended the online event and 35 speakers discussed important issues where real needs of European citizens were addressed.
We have seen it in fictional TV-series, movies but also in futuristic literature such as Isaac Asimov’s novels. Artificial Intelligence has unimaginable potential and in a couple of years, it will revolutionize most of the aspects of our daily lives. In the latest years, AI is turning into a reference point of today’s technology innovation. Today, we are experiencing exponential growth of AI-studies and researches,…
The outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and measures implemented to limit its spread have influenced the routine of the questionaries’ compilation and on organising the Focus groups in Italy. Nevertheless, we gained the results, in much more time then it was planned initially, that is necessary to continue the design and development of the smart glasses. The questionaries’ were collected separately from employees and employers and…
See Far infographic More than two billions of People are blind or visually impaired worldwide. Half of them lack access to eye care. Meet the See Far project and see what we are working to change that.
On August 21st, See Far partner Peter Skov Jensen from Aarhus University Hospital gave a lecture to the workers dealing with vision problems at ISHD – Institute for Sight, Hearing and Deafblindness in the city of Aalborg ( https://ishd.rn.dk/) It is a public institute that helps e.g. people with low vision by training them and giving them different kinds of tools like magnification devices as…
