Visually impaired individuals face significant challenges in their daily lives, primarily due to their inability to perceive environmental obstacles. Traditional white canes offer limited spatial awareness and are inadequate for detecting objects above waist level. To address these limitations, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven smart glasses system, enhanced with cybersecurity features, has been developed to improve environmental awareness and promote independent mobility for visually impaired users. The proposed system comprises camera modules, a battery unit, a charging dock, a custom-designed 3D-printed frame, and a dedicated mobile application. Utilizing computer vision- based AI algorithms, the system detects objects and estimates distances, providing users with real- time audio feedback for navigation. Additional functionalities include integrated GPS navigation, location sharing, and support for voice assistants, offering comprehensive guidance for daily activities. The mobile application, which operates with the smart glasses, ensures secure sharing of user location and environmental data. An AI-based threat detection mechanism has been integrated into the system architecture to enhance security, protect data privacy, and protect against unauthorized access. Security considerations are embedded in both the mobile communication infrastructure and the device's software components. In conclusion, this study presents a user-centric, technologically advanced assistive device that enhances mobility for visually impaired individuals through AI- powered perception and secure data communication
