Microsoft Makes iPhones Brilliant with App Describing the World for Blind People

Microsoft has released another exclusive app for iPhone users, this time using artificial intelligence and neural networks to narrate the world for blind people.

Called Seeing AI, the application, which is only available in the United States for the time being, requires visually impaired users to point the phone camera at the objects or persons around them to have a complete description of what the camera is seeing.

The application can recognize a wide array of objects, as well as persons they’ve seen before, while also being able to guess the age and emotions of people scanned by the camera.

Currency support also coming
