My Sight is now available on the App Store!
Further to “Learning Braille”, intended to
(a) simplify learning braille for sighted individuals to encourage better communication; and
(b) foster inclusivity amongst the wider community,
Mr Sight hopes to take a step to aid individuals with visual impairment by using technology to help them interpret their surroundings.
Mr Sight uses a pre-trained machine learning model to attempt at image classification. Through tapping anywhere (to make it most accessible for people with visual difficulties) on the screen, Mr Sight will provide a guess of what the item before the camera could be.
Admittedly, this machine learning model is far from knowing fully the world around us and may not accurately decipher what is before the camera lens.
Nevertheless, I hope to improve Mr Sight overtime, so that it could one day be of a tiny contribution, no matter how small a measure! 🙂
