At CES 2025, Romanian startup .lumen unveiled revolutionary AI-powered glasses that redefine how blind and visually impaired people navigate the world. Harnessing groundbreaking Pedestrian Autonomous Driving technology, these glasses build a real-time 3D map—detecting sidewalks, crosswalks, and obstacles—to guide users with discreet haptic taps and clear audio cues, without internet or pre-mapped routes. Tested by over 300 users across 30 countries, .lumen secured $4 million in funding and will launch in the U.S. in 2025, empowering thousands to move safely and independently with newfound confidence.
