This 3D-printed ring has a built-in camera and processor to help the visually blind "see" obstacles and "read" signs

Cranked out through the magic of three-dimensional printing , the EyeRing features a built-in camera and microprocessor that relays information to a smartphone. To begin using, simply double-click a button on the side and speak a command to define its function, whether it’s reading price tags or text or distinguishing colors. Point the device at whatever you’d like more information about—an item of clothing at a store, say—and click the same button once to snap a picture. The photo is directed to your phone, where an app uses computer-vision algorithms to crunch the image. You’ll then hear the results over an earpiece—”blue,” for instance or “$19.99.”
