Overview, goal and purpose of the project

The goal of the project is not to give better quality images along with an immersive experience but to create an inexpensive wearable device in terms of helping blind people to improve their vision in normal conditions, so that it can be more convenient in their daily activities. For example, a person with an ocular visual level of 20/100 can increase to 40/100 when wearing the device. The RED LIGHT RETINA DRAW (RLRD) projects red images over the retina through the pupil of the user’s eye. We will only use a low power RED LASER or LED as a source of light. The device doesn't really have high brightness, high contrast, or high resolution.


For the past few years, red light therapy has proven to be effective in treating several medical conditions, including the eyes. The idea of using only red light for this project came about when I read about the studies that show that looking at red light can significantly improve declining eyesight.
