Hardware, software, education, community, and a coalition. Each piece is built around the full life of a blind or visually impaired person — not a single moment of need.
A three-part wearable navigation system: glasses for upper-body obstacles, shoes for ground-level hazards, and gloves with ultrasonic sensors for stairs and surfaces. GPS, fall detection, emergency alerts, all on 2G. Roughly $50 to build. Best Presentation Award, TEKNOFEST Black Sea 2022.
Hardware · ValidatedSay "Hey TE" and go anywhere on our site, read the page aloud, switch themes, or control the audio tour — no mouse, no keyboard.
AI Assistant · Live on webA voice-first AI built into the Third Eye mobile app and trained for blind users. Strips the visual and color-based assumptions out of mainstream AI and rebuilds understanding around what matters: sound, space, environment, intent. First-user release in 2026.
AI · In development · 2026A voice-first social network built from scratch for blind and low-vision users. Every post is a voice memo. Every action is a voice command.
Social · Coming soonA free, voice-first global online university — open to anyone, anywhere. Foundational literacy through specialised skill-building, with language instruction for users connecting across borders. Curriculum in design.
Education · PlannedBeyond the five projects above, we are building three more pieces of the ecosystem in parallel: a consulting and career service matching blind users to meaningful work based on actual talents, not historical assumptions; a dedicated news channel reporting from inside the Third Eye world; and a story submission portal open to anyone — newly blind, lifelong blind, the parent of a newborn, the friend of someone who has just lost their sight — where you can share your story to inspire others. Each is in early planning. We'll announce on this page when they ship.
Every project is funded by people like you. Pick one to sponsor, or let us direct your gift to where it's needed most.
