USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO HELP THE BLIND SEE

摘要

One of Australia's most promising young mechanical engineers has helped found a new tech start-up, marketing an app to help the blind 'see' the world around them. Former Young Australian of the Year, Marita Cheng is developing Aipoly, an app that allows users to take a picture with their phone then hear a description of what is in the picture. It allows blind people to recognise street signs, browse items in shops or even 'see' what their children are wearing.
