Product Description: 

Lookout is an Android app that uses computer vision to assist people who are blind or have low vision in gaining information about their surroundings. Lookout uses the camera and sensors on a user's device to recognize objects and text and then provides spoken feedback, earcons, and other signals to inform users about what it sees. Lookout doesn't speak everything in view but looks for important things that a user might care about. 

Main Features: 

  • Lookout uses a continuous vision system as the device hangs around the user's neck or sits in his/her pocket. From whatever position the user chooses, Lookout watches for objects and automatically speaks them aloud.
  • Lookout is designed for extended use (1–2 hours or more).
  • With the camera facing outward, the device can hang from a lanyard around the user's neck, sit in a shirt pocket, or be held in the user's hand. 
  • Lookout automatically starts when the app is opened. The user will hear a start-up tone indicating that Lookout is active. 
  • Includes fingerprint sensor.
  • 4 modes for different activities:
    • Explore: For daily tasks, chores, and new places. By default, Lookout starts in the Explore mode. 
    • Shopping: For barcodes and currency.
    • Quick read: For sorting mail, reading signs and labels.
    • Scene description: Hear an instant description of a single image.
