MyEyes is a mobile app created to help the blind see the world around them using computer vision and voice commands. - Not feature-overloaded, designed simply to describe the world - Handles optical not cognitive functions - Avoids life-threatening scenarios, where users should depend on people, not technology For now, MyEyes offers basic, functioning skills: 1. Offer a human-understandable description (What am I looking at?) - “A man sitting behind a laptop” - “Textbooks sitting on a table” 2. Find price tag (How much does this cost?) - “5 dollars and 69 cents” - “I see 1 dollar 99 cents, 3 dollars 69 cents, and 2 dollars 39 cents” (multiple price tags) 3. Find an object (Where is the chair?) - “The chair is to your left” 4. Describe by location (What is to my right?) - “A chair and pile of textbooks”
