  • Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) launches an AI-enabled app for the visually impaired that can “see” and describe products, people, and the environment.
  • The Seeing AI app appeared as a demo at last year’s Build conference but now launches in the United States in the iOS App Store.
  • The app combines and improves upon the functionality of several existing visual impaired assistant apps.
  • There’s the expected and useful currency reader and barcode scanner, but the environment and people recognition abilities offer a new, potentially game-changing experience.
  • The app can recognize people it has seen previously and describe the appearance and emotions of the person.
  • Seeing AI can also describe a physical environment in detail, which could significantly improve mobility for users.
