Specialized Help from Be My Eyes – harnessing technology to connect companies directly with their blind and visually impaired users

Project description

Harnessing technology for the visually impaired

Be My Eyes is an application that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers or company representatives for visual assistance through live video calls. The application has helped blind people lead more independent lives. Specialised help of the EU-funded project BEMYEYES aims to enhance the existing application, connecting its user base to customer support functions in subscribing companies. Be My Eyes is in the unique position of being able to provide both the technology and the users to companies who subscribe to Be My Eyes, allowing them to better service the visually impaired community.
