A device for providing guidance or feedback to a user. The device includes a camera configured to detect image data indicating a user performance of an activity. The system includes a guidance unit connected to the camera. The guidance unit is configured to identify the activity based on image processing of the image data or an identification of the activity from the user. The guidance unit is also configured to determine a criteria associated with the activity. The guidance unit is also configured to determine a user performance of the activity based on the image data. The guidance unit is also configured to determine feedback based on a comparison of the criteria and the user performance of the activity, the feedback indicating an improvement or suggestion for the user. The system also includes an output unit connected to the guidance unit, the output unit configured to output the feedback.

System and method for providing guidance or feedback to a user

Blind aid device

A wearable computing device includes an input device, a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a camera, and a memory that is designed to store a database of landmarks and corresponding locations. The device includes a mobile processor that is designed to receive first user input indicating that the user is traveling from a starting location to a destination location and second user input indicating that new landmarks are present. The processor is designed to determine locations of the new landmarks based on the current location, the inertial measurement data, and/or the detected image data. The processor is designed to update the database to include the new landmarks and corresponding locations. The processor is designed to update the database to include an ordered list of landmarks including the new landmarks in order of their appearance from the starting location to the destination location.
