A team of PhD students at the University of California, developed the application allows blind and those who suffer from computer vision to take pictures through their smart phones and posted on their friends as all the real show .
The researchers developed the application through research included various questions was sent to 54 aged between 18 and 78 people, some of them are completely blind, and some of them suffer from variable consideration where he was asked about the hardest thing in front of them when they try to capture images, was to take advantage of their answers in the specification of the desired application.
Some of them said that the position of the photo frame is one of the main obstacles that still need to help the person who is on their side to guide them on how to run the camera. Some also highlighted the difficulty they face, even when taking pictures of themselves.
And waive the application that was developed for the button to capture the image, where it is difficult for blind people to locate him, however, the application captures the image that the user must remove his finger on the touch screen of the phone from the bottom upwards.
It also uses the application to face recognition technology and automatic speech technology to tell the blind aloud the number of people inside the photo frame to help show all in the picture.
When you capture an image, the application saves a 30-second voice sounds around during filming, and this feature allows blind to browse the images later and identified through the sounds associated with them in order to organize, share and send to friends.
The user can also save the image with the date, time and place where the audio pronunciation of the application of this information, which helps blind to browse photos more easily. It should be noted that the application is not available for download yet, but should be officially Developers releasing next month.
