Be My Eyes and Rayban

Meta and Be My Eyes have teamed up together and this looks to be going towards adding glasses as an aid to help the blind and Visually impaired community.

This will enable to be ‘hands free’ especially significant if you have a Guide Dog or Cane with you, so your hands will be most likely full.

This will be enabled by Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. AI and live feed on a one way camera, to aid the utterly brilliant Be My Eyes volunteer’s to help the person using the application.

You will be able to call hands free by saying “Hey Meta, Call a Volunteer on Be My Eyes”

Be My Eyes is a useful tool I’ve written about before. It’s available as an app and connects people all over the world in many different languages. Whether you’re in the supermarket looking for a specific product and can’t see the writing or image, someone will describe and help you. I know I’ve bought that many orange looking too light, too dark, make up Foundations that I can count. So it would help me too. I would certainly look into these as my condition progressed. Especially good if it’s all too busy. Busy people, busy colours and too much that you can’t fathom what you’re seeing, if at all you can see anything.

Wanting help reading a letter, a pill packet, dropped items, describing a scene in front of you. Anything you have difficulty with.

If you’d like to volunteer to help us poorly peeper people, please look onto the Be My Eyes website and sign up. It really is a valuable and rewarding experience for everyone involved.

I so hope these aren’t going to be staggeringly expensive like alot of the items with the word ‘Blind’ infront of it appear to be.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed, because after all we aren’t wearing or choosing them to be fashionable, we need tech to help us live a life that’s easier, less stressful and more inclusive than the past.

All on the same playing field. Not much to ask is it?

Below is a video and video description of someone using the Rayban Meta glasses.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION Woman with dark brown hair and red floral strapless dress places an album on a record player then goes to sit at a dressing table. In front of her is a large mirror and a jewellery box with lots of jewellery inside it.
As she speaks she holds up each earring. At the end she leaves her house and shuts the door.
