Specular is an app that enables visually impaired people to see through the world's eyes.
Visually impaired people (VIPs) constantly strive to independently complete their particular daily tasks. Technology has made steps in helping VIPs conduct tasks that were previously impossible for them to accomplish alone. However, there are still
times during the day when a VIP really needs a pair of sighted eyes to accompany them during their task, be it big or small. Whether it’s to count money, check clothing stains, or even read expiration dates on food packages.
Specular is now the answer.
Specular is an app specifically designed to help VIPs identify objects or situations they encounter on a daily basis, with a personalized touch.
The Specular app’s user experience is delightfully simple. Specular uses the smartphone’s camera and microphone functions to help the VIPs capture an image of what they need help identifying and attach a recording of the question they need answered. This in turn is sent to a sighted individual (Sightling) who will answer the VIP’s question and send it back within seconds. Specular also includes easy follow up options that allow a user to retake a photo, re-record a question, and ask further questions if needed.
