Be My Eyes is an app that connects blind people with volunteer helpers from around the world via live video chat.
How It Works
Blind Requests Assistance
A blind person requests assistance in the Be My Eyes app. The challenge that he/she needs help with can be anything from knowing the expiry date on the milk to navigating new surroundings.
Volunteer Receives Video And Describes
The volunteer helper receives a notification for help and a live video connection is established. From the live video the volunteer can help the blind person by answering the question they need answered.
“It's my hope that by helping each other as an online community, Be My Eyes will make a big difference in the everyday lives of blind people all over the world”– Hans Jørgen Wiberg, Founder of Be My Eyes
