Hunter's comment
- Lookout uses computer vision to assist people who are blind or have low vision in gaining information about the world around them.
- Lookout uses the camera and sensors on your device to recognize objects and text, and gives you spoken feedback, earcons, and other signals to inform you about what it sees. Text Source
Google Lookout is an app that facilitates people who are visually impaired to recognize text and pictures with ease and less effort. Such people can access to information very easily using this app. It has the ability to make lives of many people more comfortable.

It is not new that you will always find my comment under a hunt like this. Anything that aids free flow and movement of the physically impaired is something i always love to see because it gives them a bit of freedom to move and do things we do and makes them feel truly human.
This will make them know the object ahead of them, 'read' with the assisted camera via the spoken words of the application. Kudos to the brains behind this and those always working to make the world a peaceful and better place for all humans.
This is some great stuff. I've read that in medieval times many people born with disabilities were treated as beyond salvation. Then came various ways of helping them and now we can help these people without actually having another person beside the blind person.
Sure it won't be perfect. But now blind people can have more dignity. They don't have to bother people to help them and they can navigate faster which makes things easier for everybody around too. this is real empowerment and your hunt deserves to be ranked much higher.
Actually such applications are need in our society and this app is a very good application for the blind. I like this app very much and thank you so much for sharing this application among us.
YOU ARE VERIFIED.
remember to hunt really your best finds on the web, we want the site to be fully of quality awesome products that people will love!
some power tips for the next hunt.. .
A few years ago I was diagnosed with a serious visual disease (keratoconus), which at some point will lead me to total blindness, so I appreciate that technology begins to think about these people, like me, who have visibility problems. With Google Lookout we will have more security to move and there will be fewer dangers when moving from one place to another. The Lookout is an application that will be like a kind of guide that will tell you what is around you. If this is not an excellent invention, I don't know what could be? Excellent hunting

Virtually impaired people have to use different devices to detect or see objects. But this is one of the best handy tech to help them detect objects. The camera is enough, no need to use expensive devices. Great hunt!
Upped!
