Intuitive Object-Detecting Apps

The TapTapSee App is Aimed at People with Visual Impairments

— December 22, 2016 — Lifestyle
TapTapSee is an app that is directly targeted at people who are blind and visually impaired.

Blind people and those with visual impairments face unique challenges that most others do not, and the TapTapSee app aims to alleviate the small instances of uncertainty that they may feel on a daily basis. The app works to detect the various objects that its users come across each day and it works by having the user take a picture, which is then interpreted by the app and spoken out loud. This helpful app could be useful for small daily occurrences such as counting paper cash and determining what type of food to eat from the fridge.

The TapTapSee app works to simplify the life of people with visual impairments and helps ensure that they live independent lives to the best of their abilities.
Trend Themes
1. Assistive Technology - With the growth of the aging population, there is a huge opportunity for Assistive Technology that can help people with visual impairments live more independently.
2. AI-based Object Identification - Object-identification technology that uses AI could be used in various industries such as retail and manufacturing to identify products more accurately and efficiently.
3. Smart Homes and Cities - Integrating object detection technology like TapTapSee into smart homes and cities could bring about more sustainable, independent and efficient living for people with visual impairments.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can explore and invest in technologies like TapTapSee and integrate them into medical devices, making healthcare more accessible and efficient for people with different kinds of disabilities.
2. Retail - Retailers could use object-identification technology that uses AI to categorize and identify products more efficiently, and develop assistive shopping apps that can assist people with disabilities like visual impairments to shop independently.
3. Transportation - Transportation services could integrate object-identification tech like TapTapSee into their vehicles, helping visually-impaired riders navigate their routes with ease and independence.
