A wearable Raspberry Pi project presents an intriguing opportunity to realize the Cyberpunk dream of merging with our machines. Maybe you’ve never seen the future quite as vividly as when your friend walked into your room wearing a pair of Raspberry Pi-powered glasses. We’ve had the unequaled luck of covering some stunning Raspberry Pi wearables, and this is our list of the most exciting in wearable computing.
1. With these incredible Raspberry Pi glasses, you can now perform automatic sign language translation.
While today’s technology provides myriad ways to translate text in foreign languages, comprehending another person who is using sign language can be much more difficult. Fortunately, some very creative individuals have been using image recognition to assist those in our population who struggle to understand the beautiful, fluid language of sign language, which many (and in some contexts, like us, inanimate objects) use to communicate. And they’re doing it with some super cool goggles.
2. An artificial intelligence project combines with the Raspberry Pi to give visually impaired people the opportunity to “see” the world around them.
When it comes to accessibility, AI has potential avenues for helping people with limited vision “see” their surroundings. This project revolves around a Raspberry Pi that serves as a sort of computer “on the go” for the user. The project attempts to identify objects in the user’s path and articulate their positions in nearby space, utilizing toolkits that employ computer vision and the Pi’s computing power. When you talk about giving “eyes” to the “blind,” you’re entering the world of AI.
3. A cool Raspberry Pi watch uses LEDs instead of hands to tell the time.
How confident are you in your ability to read a watch without hands? If you’re feeling pretty good, you might want to try building this awesome watch using a Raspberry Pi. Instead of hands, it has LEDs that circle around the watch face. Each LED shines a different color according to the unit of time it represents. In the video above, for instance, you can see a red LED making its way around the watch face and performing the second function. This is a simple project, and it’s sure to get people doing a double-take when they ask you what time it is.
4. This genius created AR glasses with a Raspberry Pi.
One aspiring engineer with a Pi Zero built a pair of augmented-reality glasses, not because they were completely satisfied with the product offerings on the market, but because they—and many of us—are unhappy with how many of those offerings perform. Why should any next-gen AR device have problems loading, for instance, YouTube? And so “upgrading” from iteration one, we hope, with a more powerful Pi, they plan to double the fun and use factor with untethered AR glasses part two.
5. The incredible replica of the Fallout T-45 power helmet gets its brains from a Raspberry Pi Pico.
In conclusion, this incredible replica of the T-45 power armor helmet from the Fallout video game series is right here. At first glance, this may look like nothing more than a hollow shell you’d place on your head, but look inside, and you’d think you stepped into a scene from the actual T-45 power armor power plant. That’s how real this thing looks.
This is a difficult place to start. First, there is a monitor inside the helmet for keeping track of temperature. When it detects that the situation has become a bit too warm for comfort, it activates not one but two fans to help cool the person inside the helmet. This is for the heat. Stereo microphones provide the sound for the helmet. These microphones capture all spoken words and transmit them into the helmet, ensuring a natural and intelligible hearing experience for the wearer.
The creator aimed to install a voice changer but ultimately ran out of time. They expressed their intention to include a voice changer in a future revision of this helmet, and we eagerly anticipate its arrival.
The best wearable’s use Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi are ubiquitous due to their small size. Inventors often use Raspberry Pi to create products that aid users in their daily tasks and life in general. Other times, inventors may use Raspberry Pis to create something aesthetically pleasing and impressive. However, using a Raspberry Pi in wearable’s almost always results in a user experience that is far more powerful and enjoyable than what typical wearable’s offer.
