3. PROBLEMS
 Bulky Device
 No practical use

4. MODIFIED APPROACH
The objective is to create a solution usable by simply
installing a piece of software on a widely available
device, without additional hardware beyond the phone.
Also integrate voice based assistance which would help
the user in better visualization of his surrounding
environment and assist him in his daily work. Although
this significantly limits the achievable accuracy,
reliability and functionality of the resulting system, it
allows for potentially much more widespread use.
