Be my eyes

Be My Eyes is an app that connects blind people with normal sighted volunteers to provide help via live video streaming on smartphones.

Be My Eyes connects blind people with a community of sighted volunteers. Both parties install the app and when the blind person needs help he/she uses the app which calls out to the network of volunteers and sends a live video stream from the blind person’s device to the screen of the volunteer’s device. This way the volunteers can “be the blind person's eyes” over the smartphone – therefore we’ve named it Be My Eyes!
