artha

Artha France, established in 2018 and located in the Paris region, focuses on creating innovative assistive technology for visually impaired and blind individuals. The company aims to enhance autonomy and mobility by enabling users to perceive their surroundings through sensory substitution and advanced technology. Their flagship product features a mini-camera that clips onto glasses and a haptic lumbar belt worn on the back. This device captures 3D surroundings and translates visual information into tactile signals, allowing users to "feel" their environment. The system employs an algorithm to convert images into haptic feedback, improving spatial awareness and obstacle detection. Artha utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques, including 3D printing with Multi Jet Fusion technology, to produce adaptable and comfortable lumbar belts. Collaborating with Ikotek, they integrate high-performance hardware into their devices, ensuring a compact design suitable for everyday use. Artha works closely with associations for the visually impaired to tailor their products to user needs, emphasizing safety and independence.
