But these technologies can do much more than just entertain us or keep us connected. They can, in fact, become a bridge toward autonomy and inclusion for people with visual impairments. **Be My Eyes: a helping hand from your smartphone** One of these revolutionary apps is Be My Eyes. Born from the idea of a young blind man, this application connects sighted and blind people in real time through a video call. Imagine sitting on your sofa at home with your smartphone in hand. With a few taps on the screen, you can decide to help a blind person perform any activity that requires sight, such as reading a label, recognizing a color, or navigating a new environment. **How does it work?** The way Be My Eyes works is extremely simple. Once the app is downloaded and an account is created, the blind user can send a request for assistance. The request is sent to a pool of sighted volunteers, who can accept or decline the call. Once accepted, a video call is activated through which the volunteer can see through the blind user's smartphone camera. In this way, they can provide the information needed to overcome the obstacle. **What are the benefits?** The benefits of Be My Eyes are manifold, both for blind people and for volunteers. - **Autonomy for the blind:** Thanks to Be My Eyes, blind people can carry out many more activities independently, increasing their quality of life. - **Social inclusion:** The app promotes social inclusion by creating a bridge between sighted and blind people and fostering solidarity. - **Satisfaction for volunteers:** Helping others is rewarding. Be My Eyes volunteers can make a difference in someone's life while gaining new skills and knowledge. **A small gesture, a big impact** Even a small gesture, such as answering a call on Be My Eyes, can make a big difference in a blind person's life. Imagine the joy of a blind person who finally manages to read a medicine label, or another who can find their way in a new city. **Beyond reading: a world of possibilities** Be My Eyes is not just an app for reading. Its potential is endless. It can be used to: - **Recognize objects:** A blind person can ask for help recognizing an object, such as a piece of clothing or a toy. - **Navigate:** A volunteer can help a blind person find their way in a new place, such as a station or a supermarket. - **Perform small repairs:** A volunteer can help a blind person carry out small household repairs, such as changing a light bulb. **Conclusion** Be My Eyes is an example of how technology can be used to create a more inclusive and accessible world for everyone. By downloading this app, each of us can become an everyday superhero, helping blind people overcome the challenges they face every day. **More info** on **[Be My Eyes](https://www.bemyeyes.com/language/italian)**. **To join the [WhatsApp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B9agWqDJsZFCGO73LZBvI2) community and stay updated, go from your mobile [here](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B9agWqDJsZFCGO73LZBvI2).** [Join the digiTiamo community ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B9agWqDJsZFCGO73LZBvI2) Share this article [WhatsApp](https://wa.me/?text=An%20Eye%20for%20Those%20Who%20Cannot%20See%3A%20The%20Be%20My%20Eyes%20Revolution%20-%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lucacarbone.ch%2Fen%2Finnovation%2Focchio-per-chi-non-vede-be-my-eyes)Copy link ### Keep reading [All articles](/en/blog)[AI for Business](/en/ai-per-aziende)[Services](/en/services)[Contact](/en/contact) ## Related Articles [ ![I’ve stopped writing.
