LookingAid Real-Time Object Recognition on a Mobile Device

where to download this software? Interesting which phones this will work on.

wow we know he has 20 dollars

right?

Let's rob him!

How a blind person is going to point to an object he does not know the exact position?

If you're at a store you can pick up something and point the device at it. Try doing it blind folded i'm sure you'd be able to point a device at what you're holding. Also blind people will be much better at doing so since, well they're used to it :)

if u read it says visualy impaired not blind. impaired meaning they can see just not very good.

Fantastic use of current technologies! Taking an OCR like the one Evernote uses and adding text-speech in a cell phone app could help anyone with sight difficulties. I would expect the first feature they add would be the ability to take snapshotsa of larger objects like posters with a bunch of text and save them for later playback.

The cameras in phones are typically such low quality that discerning a copy from an original would be nearly impossible and wouldn't be within the scope of this product.

u live on past...
