Abstract

Navist a smart glasses, an innovation created to assist the elderly or individuals that could benefit from it. It strives in helping the elderly or even others to navigate in a technology driven world. A lot of devices today are made for everyone to use, however these devices overlook those that may have struggles with it. Our innovation aids the elderly in navigation, location tracking and even reminders for medications or appointments.

An application or a mobile device we made can be used to assist the usage of the glasses. Locations can be saved, reminders can be set and the location of whoever is using the glasses can be seen. We want the elderly to go out to the world they shaped and have confidence and assurance while doing so. Not only that, it could provide a sense of security to family members or even those that take care of them. Having assurance that their loved ones are safe is crucial.
