"Fund-raising has begun for what developers say will be the world's first free smart glasses to help the blind and visually impaired.               A vision of the future -- these could become the world's first free smart glasses, says the Polish non-profit organisation behind them.               Parsee has developed this prototype of battery-powered glasses with a 3D printed frame, camera and earphone.               SOUNDBITE (English) PARSEE PROJECT MANAGER, BARTOSZ TRZCINSKI, SAYING:               \"Parsee is an innovative 3D printed glasses for blind and visually impaired people. It helps them in their everyday living like reading newspapers, drinking juice.\"               Pushing a button on the frame, users take pictures of an object in front of them, which the camera sends to a phone app.               The app identifies shapes, colours, text and even faces -- and sends the detail via audio to the earphone.               SOUNDBITE (Polish) TERESA LAPA, USER OF PROTOTYPE GLASSES, SAYING:               \"When I take something from the fridge what I see is blurred - this helps me to recognize the product and read what is written on it. It also helps me to recognize my friends' faces, because I have a problem with that.\"               Parsee has begun fund-raising with a $25,000 goal to research and develop a sleeker model of the glasses.               It's still in the early stages of its longer-term goal to mass produce and distribute the spectacles for free.               The current cost of producing one pair is $300 -- a figure they aim to reduce over time."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
