When it comes to shopping for clothes, visually impaired individuals like Matthew Sherwood often face challenges in identifying colors and styles. However, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), tasks that were once daunting are becoming more manageable.
Sherwood, who has been blind for over 15 years, relies on tools like the Be My Eyes app to connect with sighted volunteers who assist him through live video calls. While this human-assisted approach has been helpful, recent developments in AI are revolutionizing the landscape of assistive technology.
