Blindness, affecting over 40 million people globally, presents ongoing challenges, especially in mobility. Current solutions like walking canes and guide dogs have limitations. Guide dogs, though helpful, are expensive, limited in number, and not scalable. .lumen, however, is transforming how blind individuals experience the world by introducing glasses that work similarly to guide dogs, but with added benefits.

The .lumen glasses utilize cutting-edge technology from autonomous vehicles and robotics, providing a scalable and affordable solution for individuals with visual impairments. These glasses offer navigation assistance, hazard avoidance, and even allow users to “see” text and understand their environment through spatialized sound and haptic feedback.

By offering independence in navigating complex spaces, reading texts, and exploring surroundings, .lumen is empowering the blind community. This innovative approach is designed for easy usability, ensuring that individuals with varying levels of visual impairment can benefit.

These glasses are not just a device—they are a key to freedom and autonomy for millions of people worldwide, opening new doors for social, educational, and professional growth
