In Brief
Computer scientists are developing new adaptive mobile technology that could enable blind and visually-impaired people to "see" through their smartphone or tablet.
  • A key aspect of the system will be its capacity to adapt to individual users’ experiences, modifying the guidance it provides as the machine “learns” from its landscape and from the human interaction. So, as the user becomes more accustomed to the technology, the quicker and easier it would be to identify the environment.
