Blind person here.

I don't see a point to this over just using a cell phone app to do this, which are slowly starting to appear.

Yes, apps for this is for sure the best solution. Hopefully something like "Be My AI" in combination with consumer products such as Ray-Ban Meta, where you can get descriptions without telling the world that you are requesting descriptions.

I have not done any app development, and for this project I wanted to keep some things simple to focus on what can be expected from a low quality camera in combination with AI for descriptions.

Hi! Could you tell me what are your favorite devices / apps to get descriptions of scenery? Are you a coder? Would you point me to the best setup for coding for a blind person? Thanks
