Future Mobility

The .lumen Glasses for the Blind are an AI-powered wearable mobility solution that helps blind and visually impaired people navigate safely and independently.

Powered by Pedestrian Autonomous Driving (PAD AI), the Glasses continuously analyze the environment using cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to identify obstacles, understand surroundings, and calculate the safest path in real time. Directional guidance is delivered through intuitive haptic feedback, while audio cues are provided only when needed for situations such as crossings, stairs, navigation instructions, or object finding.

Unlike traditional mobility aids that primarily detect obstacles, the .lumen Glasses actively guide users around them, replicating the core functions of a guide dog in a scalable technology.

The solution is CE-certified, requires no infrastructure changes, and has been validated by more than 900 blind and visually impaired users across 40+ countries.
