Insight Reader
The Project
Insight Reader is an automated book-flipping device that captures images of each page and uses AI to analyze the content, making physical books more interactive and accessible. The project was inspired by a desire to help people with visual impairments, learning differences, or physical limitations engage with printed materials more easily. Combining robotics and artificial intelligence, Insight Reader bridges the gap between traditional books and digital accessibility. One of the biggest challenges was engineering a reliable mechanism to turn pages without skipping or damaging them, as well as ensuring the AI could accurately interpret varied text and lighting conditions.
