Project Brief
How it works: Every day, sighted volunteers lend their eyes to solve tasks big and small to help blind and low vision people lead more independent lives.
Project Innovation/Need
Blind or low vision person requests assistance: As a blind or low vision person, whenever you need visual assistance, our volunteers are happy to help. Through the live video call, you and a volunteer can communicate directly and solve a problem. The volunteer will help guide which direction to point your camera, what to focus on or when to turn on your torch.
Sighted volunteer receives video call: As a sighted volunteer you can help just by installing the Be My Eyes app. A blind or a low vision user may need help with anything from checking expiry dates, distinguishing colors, reading instructions or navigating new surroundings.
