What Is Your Solution?

Seeing into the future!

Our solution is a pair of glasses by a social enterprise called Inspectoor Cruz which will provide the necessary essentials to aid Deaf people in daily challenges like communicating with others.

Our company is creating glasses to help the deaf. These glasses have a feature where if someone is talking to the user, on the lens it will pop up with speech-to-text, so user can read to it, and reply back however they communicate (egbsign language). There will be a touchpad on the right-hand side, to navigate through maps that come on lens. The glasses will be fully customisable on how it looks and its style. The glasses will also have earbuds that come out of them for nondeaf users to listen to music. The glasses are activated by an app created by the company. With their profits, they will donate to charities such as able Australia, make sense, and hope to develop glasses to help the blind.

We hope to expand our product by creating glasses for those who are blind.
These glasses will have multiple sensors that will provide verbal warnings when hazards are approaching (eg. oncoming traffic warnings) and will help those who are unable to see safely navigate the world without the aid of a seeing-eye dog or cane. 

Our glasses will help EVERYONE see into a brighter and more inclusive future!

Support Required

Connections

We will need to establish connections with the following: 
1. Deaf and blind communities 
2. Developers and engineers 
3. Marketers and designers 
4. Other entrepreneurs that have a similar mission to us (let's work together!) 

Funding

Two things: Funding and Development. Us Cruz'ers will need support on the funding as we can't afford any of this advanced technology on our own. We will also need support on the development of our plan for the spectacles.
We are seeking council funding and seed funding to create a working prototype of our product.

Are you ready to jump in board and see into a more inclusive future!? 
Give us a call!! 

Advice

We are seeking advise from developers and engineers to help us create a working prototype of our idea. 
We are also seeking feedback form deaf and blind people to see if our product will enable them to live more fulfilling lifestyle. 

Development

To develop our product, we will need to work with designers, engineers, marketing and branding staff and more. 
This product has the potential for GREAT impact, and to achieve that we will need a GREAT team!
