We use our phone... a lot. And today a new tool from Google makes it a lot more useful to those with accessbility issue.
One of the neat features with Pixel cameras was the 'Lens' feature. Something to guess what it is seeing.
Well, taken a step further you get this new tool: Lookout
Essentially, a constantly looking at what it sees and tries to identify it.
It uses Google's super powers of item recognition as well as searching for text, codes and UPCs, to be able to identify a wide miriad of items.
Match that up with their accessibility feature like TalkBack it'll speak out to the user what it is seeing.
