Be My Eyes

I want to commend the designer of the be my eyes app.  Blind persons can use this app to contact a volunteer with a smart phone that also has the app via Skype and have the volunteer tell them what they see on their screen and assist them with what they need.

What an excellent idea!

If the blind person was wearing Google glasses a sighted volunteer could guide them as they walk.  Perhaps through a supermarket or down a street.

In general, hardware technology advancement is so far ahead of creative applications.
