Aipoly Vision App

Have y'all seen this? There's a new app called Aipoly Vision App that helps blind people navigate by identifying objects they point their phone's camera at, especially good for when navigating by touch is less than ideal. Here's a link with more information: http://nekobakaz.tumblr.com/post/136785299374/voidbat-female-only-sizvideos-aipoly

This sounds pretty cool. I don't own an i-device but my brother does, and he's a VoiceOver user. I'll share this with him and see if he's heard of it before.

I've heard of similar tools but that one is definitely quite cool.

Yeah, this one is a relative latecomer to the party -- there are a solid dozen competitor apps out there. A couple of them are even good! Most...not so much. Spoiler: the good ones are generally not the free ones. Have no idea about this one.
