How to Build your own Eye! | Pranav Lal | TEDxSayajigunj

Pranav Lal, 32, is blind since birth, and he is an excellent photographer. Using technology, not to mention creativity, he has challenged and broken stereotypes associated with the visually impaired. In 2001, he stumbled upon a software called the ‘Voice’, that claims to give a visual experience to the blind. The software essentially converts images into sound which he hears through the headphones and determines what he is looking at. His talk will be surrounding about "How to build your own eye" - A technology that enables vision for visually impaired. With a mix of hardware and software, a camera attached to user's head will provide them motion and audible guidance to move forward.

Pranav believes that all obstacles can be tackled - and he never forgets to carry a camera on his trips. With dedicated support from his parents and loved ones, Pranav has never let his handicap deter him from anything - be it studies, or snapping the shutter.
