As a normal person, we feel that everything we see every day is a matter of course. Sometimes when we are depressed in the gloom of the sky, we sometimes encounter blue skies and the mood is very open. This is a normal life. But there is still a group of people in the world who will never have the opportunity to realize the most common happiness of these people. They live in eternal darkness because they are either blind or visually impaired.

However, we have seen many companies trying to use technology to help blind people see the light again. For example, Google recently launched an application called Lookout to help blind and visually impaired people identify objects around and provide users with audio prompts. Understand the surrounding environment.

According to Google’s report, “At present, there are more than 253 million blind or visually impaired people in the world. In order to make them more accessible to the world, we need to build a tool that can work with the ever-changing environment around us. So this year is called Lookout. The Android APP began to land on the US Play Store to enter the market, helping blind or visually impaired people to encounter different objects in the environment, giving textural cues and characters to give auditory clues, thus making their lives more independent.

Microsoft also released a similar APP before, using voice prompts to blind or visually impaired people to understand the specific environment around them. Recently, Ford Motor Company also designed a similar concept for their windows, real-time braille on the car window. Can be used to tell the needy passenger outside the window.
