App to 'Visually' Help Others
There are generally pros and cons with virtually any type of technology, but once in a while something really amazing is created.
Today’s tip is one of those incredible creations called ‘Be My Eyes’ because of what it does to help other people.
An app developer in Europe created this app to help those that are either blind or have low vision navigate the physical world with the help of the app and volunteers on the other end.
When someone needs the help of a sighted person, they simply use the app to find a volunteer that can use the camera on their phone to help them see things, like expiration dates or street signs.
If you’d like to do something that makes you feel good, download this app and get set up as a volunteer.
The system has a rating system for volunteers so the best ones get the most opportunities too.
This simple but incredibly helpful task is such a great gift to your fellow man, so if you’re ready to help, go to: https://bemyeyes.org
