Moroki

Para qué sirve

Moroki is a smart glasses system for people with partial blindness. Using a microcamera, it captures and processes real-time visuals to enhance perception. A portable charging case ensures easy, independent daily use.

Qué te inspiró

The choice of partial blindness as the basis for this design project stems from recognizing its significant impact on the quality of life of those affected. A personal case within a team member’s family allowed for a deeper understanding of the daily challenges involved. The project is driven by empathy and a commitment to improving accessibility, aiming to offer real solutions based on direct observation and lived experiences. It highlights the role of design as a tool for addressing social issues and fostering more inclusive environments.

Cómo funciona

A portable device in the form of smart glasses, specifically designed for individuals with partial blindness (such as blind spots, partial loss of the visual field, or blurry and distorted vision). The main objective is to reconstruct the visual scene in real time using an integrated camera that captures the surroundings, processes the image, and projects an enhanced view onto the lenses. The glasses feature a modular frame with interchangeable parts to adapt to different face shapes, ensuring comfort and usability for a wide range of users. The device also includes a smart carrying case, designed not only to protect the glasses but also to function as a portable charging station. This allows users to recharge the device anytime, anywhere, extending usage without relying on constant access to power. It simplifies maintenance and promotes greater independence in daily life.

Proceso de diseño

The process began by identifying a real user need: the creation of smart, sustainable glasses that integrate discreet technology. Research into user behavior, existing products, materials, and environmental impact laid the foundation. From there, several conceptual ideas were generated, exploring different functions, spatial configurations, and design languages. These concepts were refined through functional decomposition and prioritization of critical elements. Material selection played a central role—bioacetate was chosen for its sustainability and aesthetic potential. Considerations included flexibility, durability, and visual quality. The structure was optimized for fabrication, assembly, ergonomics, and recyclability. Once key constraints were established, detailed 3D modeling was used to evaluate proportions, thickness, fit, and the placement of technological components. The process ended with a final digital design that balances form, function, and sustainability—ready for future prototyping and validation.

Qué lo hace diferente

Our design stands out from others on the market for several reasons. First, it is made for everyone with partial blindness, adapting to various types and degrees of visual impairment. Unlike products tailored to one specific condition, our glasses are inclusive and versatile. Second, they do not resemble medical devices. Instead, they are designed as stylish everyday accessories that users can personalize by selecting different patterns. This gives users a sense of ownership and reduces stigma. Our glasses offer an accessible solution with relatively low costs compared to other high-tech alternatives. This affordability supports our mission to deliver a product that is socially responsible and inclusive. By combining functionality, adaptability, and appealing design, we’ve created a unique product that meets real needs while fitting seamlessly into users’ daily lives—making it unlike anything currently available in the market.

Planes para el futuro

Our future plans include developing functional prototypes to test the glasses with real patients affected by partial blindness. Through these trials, we aim to gather valuable feedback and improve usability, comfort, and performance. Our goal is to make a product that truly enhances daily life, helping users regain confidence and independence. In terms of business development, we plan to seek partnerships with healthcare providers and vision specialists, as well as pursue funding to scale production. Ultimately, we hope to bring to market an affordable, inclusive solution that allows people with visual impairments to live an empowered life.
