Abstract

There are approximately 180 million persons in the world today that are blind. Although there have been a multitude of advancements in the field of optometry and surgery, most of these visually impaired persons will never see an improvement in their condition. The Closet Buddy system was designed to allow visually-impaired users to select outfits and find the appropriate clothing in their closet. Utilizing an interface designed for the visually-impaired, users will be picking out their own clothes and dressing to impress in no time.
