Microsoft Seeing AI App for Blind People Describes The World Around.

This type of augmented reality technology could prove enormously helpful ... as long as you are presumably attached to 'the cloud'.

"Microsoft has released an iPhone app for blind people and those with significantly decreased vision. Seeing AI, as the app is called, does its magic when the user points the smartphone’s camera at something and it reads out what it’s seeing. For example, pointing it at a person, it tries to identify if it’s someone you know, otherwise specifying basic characteristics of the person, such as gender, and whether they’re smiling or sad."
