There is now a free iOS app that enables the blind, visually impaired, and color blind, understand their surroundings through object and color recognition. Optimised for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, the app allows users to toggle between its two main functions: object recognition, and color recognition. AppAdvice reports, however, that the app’s object recognition is a little hit and miss, although color recognition seems to work flawlessly. Aipoly Vision’s developer says,
Aipoly can identify several hundreds of objects right from the start, without any training, and can do so three times a second. No need to snap pictures, the app will constantly see and think.”
The app also allows users to add new objects to it by typing in their description, and it will also be able to understand scenes in a future version.
