Researchers aim to use transparent OLED glasses to help the visually-impaired

Researchers from Oxford University are developing a visual-aid glasses that can enhance vision for visually-impaired people. The basic idea is that the glasses include depth cameras (using Kinect hardware) and transparent displays that show the same image you're looking at - only brighter for the visually impaired.

The first versions used a LED array, but now they are developing glasses that use transparent OLED panels. If you want more information, you can view the 25 minute presentation below.
