Résumé

We would like to thank the following people for their involvement and help to make this project a success:

Professor Steve Mann was our supervisor and coordinator for the project.  He helped us from the beginning by getting us interested and involved in wearable computers, introducing us to the EyeTap concept and mediated reality.  His viewfinder program was indeed the basis for our project and he was instrumental in helping us formulate the basic idea behind our visual enhancer.

In addition to all of this, Professor Mann helped us with the choice of edge detection algorithms, optimization of that algorithm, lending us the new Xybernaut wearcomp for the design fair, and general feedback about the project.

James Fung was very helpful with wearable computers and the Linux operating system.

In the field of image processing, we would like to thank Professor Anastasios Venetsanopoulos and Professor Kostas Plataniotis for guidance and their expertise, especially in edge detection algorithms.

We would also like to thank Professor Francis Dawson for helping us with the written components of the project, and finally Mr. Tim Trant for his help in the ugsparcs lab and with general UNIX and Linux help.
