The goal for this project was to make a wearable camera capable of facial recognition with real time audio feedback for people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. I surveyed participants (n = 40) on topics regarding their memorization ability and experience with wearables and cameras. Subjects desired to place the wearable near the ear and valued a modular and flexible design that could be worn in different ways. Taking these results into consideration, the research I began designing and prototyping different devices and their user interactions, as well as a connected mobile application to aid in memory augmentation.
