Abstract

A human interface device (10) comprising a sender (12) operatively connected to a receiver (14), the sender (12) comprising a short- range wireless receiver (16) and the receiver (14) comprising a processor and an output device (24), wherein the processor is adapted, upon detection of a signal (26) by the short-range wireless receiver (16), to output a signal (30) via the output device (24), the output signal (30) being a speech-audio signal. In addition, the human interface device (10) may further comprise a camera (55), which captures a forward-facing image (400), the image being notionally divided into columns and rows, and the processor being adapted to perform image analysis to recognise objects (402, 404) in the image (400) and to output synthesized plain-language warning to the user upon detection and recognition of objects (402, 404) in the image (400).
