Be My Eyes

A mobile application that connects blind and low-vision users with sighted volunteers or AI-powered visual assistance for help with visual tasks. Originally launched in 2015 as a crowdsourced human-to-human video call service, Be My Eyes has since integrated AI features ("Be My AI") powered by large multimodal models to provide rich descriptions of user-submitted images. The platform represents a key milestone in the evolution from crowdsourced to AI-driven visual question answering for accessibility, and serves as a human-verified ground truth alongside professional visual interpretation services.
