DRC Tech Tip of the Week

If you have a visual impairment or are a sighted person who wants to assist others virtually, check out the Be My Eyes app! Hans Jørgen Wiberg, who is visually impaired, is the founder of the app. This free app connects blind and low-vision users with sighted volunteers for visual assistance for small and big tasks through a video call. This can include getting help with checking expiry dates, distinguishing colors, reading instructions or navigating new surroundings.

If you have questions about Be My Eyes, visit the Be My Eyes Help Center. If you would like other suggestions about tools for visual impairments, please email us at adaptivetech@pdx.edu.
