FPGA implementation of an augmented reality application for visually impaired people

In our work, an FPGA-based AR application is developed for people affected by tunnel vision. This consists of a loss of peripheral vision, while retaining a high resolution central vision, associated mainly to several eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma. The loss of the peripheral visual field affects considerably the patient´s ability to localize objects or persons and navigate, and consequently, his relationship with people and the environment.
