A T-shirt with special pockets that let's your smart phone’s camera peek through so you can utilize your mobile’s AI powers, which we believe is the next innovation in fashion.
We want to create a free open source app that utilizes mobile AI to help the visually impaired to better navigate everyday life.
Because, it's simple and affordable and with your help could be available to everyone in need around the world.
The more T-shirts we have on the streets, the more data we have to make the app reliable. Besides, it's fun to discover creative uses for mobile AI in everyday life.
1. It’s inevitable. Fashion + technology = connivance.
2. Mobile AI can be useful for the visually impaired, and because this solution is as affordable as any other T-shirt, it’s a feasible solution for everyone.
3. Does it make sense to hide your smart phone in your pocket? Such a powerful device deserves better treatment than that.
4. Remember “BendGate”? Having a pocket that can easily hold your device is a big advantage.
5. Remember the “Sixth Sense” TED talk? Isn’t it about time for that idea to be used? Now it will be, without a big extra cost!
6. Let’s start out simple, and then once we have enough data and users, we can add some Terminator-like gadgets to it!
7. This looks like just a normal T-shirt, so it won’t be too geeky.
8. It's perfect for live broadcasting or filming for long periods of time.
9. It fits all kinds of mobile phones.
The Idea was inspired by my friend Adam. In a city like New York where everyone is five minutes late, Adam was never late! Though, he’s visually impaired. Going out with him couple of times made us realize the need for such an app.
Here is an ad that can show how much difference such an app can make:
