See the World Differently: How AI is Empowering People with Vision Loss

8/2/2024

0 Comments

 
​Imagine experiencing the world in a whole new way. Artificial intelligence (AI) is making that a reality for millions of people with low vision and blindness, especially across Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

AI: A Game Changer for the Visually Impaired
AI Eyes: Picture pointing your phone and having it describe the world around you. AI-powered apps like [Envision AI] and [LookTel] are like having a digital seeing eye, helping identify objects and text with ease.

Enhanced Navigation: AI-powered wearables like NOA vests are revolutionizing mobility. Cameras and sensors warn users of obstacles and dangers, increasing confidence and independence when exploring new surroundings.

A World of Rich Description: Apps like Microsoft's Seeing AI use image recognition to paint a more complete picture of the world. They describe entire scenes, including people and their emotions, providing a deeper understanding.

Descriptive Storytelling: Text-to-speech AI like ChatGPT opens a world of literature. It can convert written text into clear audio descriptions, allowing users to enjoy books and articles independently.

The Potential of AI is Boundless
These advancements are opening doors for people with vision loss, fostering greater independence and a more fulfilling life. From navigating daily tasks to experiencing the world around them in new ways, AI is a powerful tool for positive change.
