Eyeluminati

Eyeluminati is a technology company based in Washington DC which developed from a project led[1] by Roopam Sharma and Neeraj Saini.[2] They entered for the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2015 and won the innovation category with the Manovue project. This is an intelligent personal assistant in the form of a glove for the visually impaired[3] which reads printed or digital text aloud. It also helps people to move around and to use computer technology.[4] It went on to win the World Health Summit Startup Award 2018.[5] They also won the Cognitive Computing & Internet of Things in the fourth season of Yahoo Accenture Innovation Jockeys in 2015.[6]

It has been suggested that the Manovue eliminates the need for Braille. It combines vision intelligence and the internet of things.[7]
