Report of Technological and Other Scientific Innovations Collision Prediction US Patent Application PCT/US2013/060973, filed in 2013. As a member of Luo Lab, I developed a computer algorithm for predicting collisions using the optical flow in video frames. Collision Warning Device SuperVision+ Google Glass Screenshare A portable, pocket-sized, video camera based collision warning device for people with peripheral vision loss that detects potential collisions and provides audio warnings. A mobile app for magnification and stabilization of live video (ios & Android). I was part of a team that developed this app for people with lowvision to be used as magnification and way-finding tool. An app for remotely viewing and interacting with a magnified smartphone displays using Google Glass. This app allows people with low-vision who use magnification on their smartphone to remotely navigate and interact with their smartphones using Google Glass head-mounted display. EyeTurn A smartphone app for photographic measurement of strabismus. This is an app intended for use by doctors/optometrists/health care providers to rapidly measure eye alignment. Mobile Device Application for Ocular Misalignment Measurement. U.S. Provisional Application No.: 62/295,869, filed in 02/2016.
