Its time to give the Blind and Visually Impaired individuals, the virtual eye to see leveraging the power of Sambanova AI

What it does

This is an application that allow blind and visually impaired individuals to analyze images and understand the visual world around them leveraging Sambanova AI

How it Works

The application allowed users analyze our sample images or to upload personal images from a browser, Desktop, Phones Cameras, etc.
to be processed by Sambanova AI models for image content object recognition and analysis. The resultant data is displayed to the user which He/She can read or listen to via Audio–(Text to Speech)

Use Cases For the Blind

  • Object Recognition and Scene Understanding: Application leverages Sambanova AImodels to identify objects within an image, understand their relationships (e.g., “a cat sitting on a mat”), and describe the overall scene. This provides a textual description that a blind person can listen to or read. These descriptions can be quite detailed, specifying colors, sizes, and positions of objects, locations etc
  • Real-time Image Environmental Description: Application leverages Sambanova AI to process images from a phone’s camera in real-time, providing immediate descriptions of the environment. This is particularly useful for navigation for the blind and visually impaired individuals.
  • E-Commerce/Online Shopping: Application leverages Sambanova AI to analyze product images and generate detailed descriptions. This includes not only identifying the product but also describing its features, colors, materials, and even style. Thus allowing blind and visually impaired individuals to select the perfect item.

In summary, Samabanova Eye application has tremendous potential to empower blind and visually impaired individuals, promoting greater independence and inclusion.
