Show HN: Envision – AI-powered camera for the visually impaired
We are two guys who have been working with visually impaired people to understand how can computer vision deliver meaningful value to them. Our design centered approach to this has lead to two conclusion: a context-aware AI that anticipates what information user is looking for and an unobtrusive & non-stigmatising wearable camera.
We have been able to achieve the first part of it which we have just launched as a beta app. The idea is to use this as a platform to understand what contexts and feature need to be added to improve the experience. We are also going to use this to derive our hardware specifications for the camera that would compliment it and complete the experience.
We are trying to push this out to as many visually impaired users as possible, so do spread the word to people you might know. We would also like you to take it for a spin and drop us feedback if you have any.
