ThirdEye: Empowering the Blind and Visually Impaired with Object Recognition

Featured in Forbes, Techcrunch, HuffingtonPost, SIRIUSXM, New Scientist, TEDx, Mother Nature Network, PhillyVoice, and WHYY; at ThirdEye, we believe in empowering the visually impaired.

ThirdEye restores autonomy to visually impaired persons’ lives by enabling them to recognize everyday objects. All the user has to do is touch one button and our technology verbally returns back whatever object the user is looking at within seconds (for example a “5 US Dollar Bill” or an “Ibuprofen bottle”).

We have a database of millions of images that is being updated every day and thus our product is able to recognize a wide array of images very specifically.

ThirdEye is currently free to download!

Reviews:

"Thank you for developing such a wonderful app. Reading text would be so beneficial to my children, who are all in High School & primary. It is so hard to get pdf versions of some text books, which means we are constantly scanning pages or taking photos of pages for magnification." ~ Deanna

"I just installed this app and used it a couple of times. So far I like it, thank you." ~ David

"Very cool. One helpful help" ~ Victoria

Features:
• Press the “Recognize This” button while holding your phone in front of an object you want to recognize, and then wait a couple of seconds for ThirdEye to return the object to your ear. The button is large, and occupies half the screen so it’s easy to find and press.
• Press the raise volume button on the side of your phone while the app is on to Activate the “Recognize This” feature.
• Every time you press a button, ThirdEye will read aloud the button you pressed (to ensure that you pressed the button you wanted to).
• Returns a Alert Message warning you if the item you recognized could be potentially dangerous (such as medicine) and to ask for help before taking the medicine. (Note: Please note that this alert message will be triggered on every potentially dangerous item simply because of the sheer number of potentially dangerous items; we have done our best to try to add as many objects as we think could be dangerous, but you should use your own judgement)
• Read text on books by pressing the "Read This" button
