Let's me introduce you the best application ever for me 'Be My Eyes' because I think it is the wonderful application that everyone can use to help others who have a eye's problem by using technology.
Although blind people are generally capable of going about
things unaided, there are times when seeing something is a necessity. A new
mobile app aims to help the blind in those situations. Be My Eyes connects
individuals in need of visual assistance with sighted volunteers via a video
call.
There is a simple brilliance about Be My Eyes. It uses
existing technology with which people are widely familiar and applies it to a
problem that is significant for those that it affects. While the technology may
not be innovative in itself, the way in which it is employed certainly is. The
result is an app that can not only make a real difference to blind users, but
enables altruism and develops understanding among those who are able to see.
There are two groups of people who can use the Be My Eyes
app – those who are blind and may require sighted assistance at some point, and
those who are willing and able to provide assistance. On opening the app, users
indicate which group they fall into. It is then possible for blind users to
request assistance from the first available sighted user.
Once an available helper is found, the app sets up a video
call between the users. The blind user is then able to explain their problem
and point their phone towards the subject they need to see. The helper is able
to ask questions and converse with the blind user, and to provide instruction
as to how the phone may need to be aimed or positioned in order for them to
provide the required assistance.
