Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we propose "mono-glass" for providing distance information for people losing sight in one eye. The proposed mono-glass is a wearable device with two cameras and one display. The two cameras capture the images on behalf of user’s eyes. Depth information is then reconstructed from the captured images and visualized with defocusing for the healthy eye. Our color enhancement method is applicable to an optical see-through display. We confirmed that the method also contributes to provide distinct depth information.
