📱 FYE uses AI to help visually impaired people connect to the world around them → g.co/play/weareplay
In this #WeArePlay story, meet Zülal from Istanbul, Türkiye. Her app FYE uses AI to provide detailed visual descriptions of videos and photos to visually impaired people.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Z��LAL: I was born with limited sight, so I couldn't recognize colors, objects, even my parents' faces. When I lost my vision completely, I was aware that there was no opportunity to see biologically but it was possible with technology. So, I started to use assistive technologies and image recognition technologies. APP: The image presents an elevated view of an outdoor scene taken in daylight. Z��LAL: When I realized that they couldn't give me the closest version of vision, I decided to develop my own technology, and I developed From Your Eyes. APP: The trees and the shadows, they cast on the ground, conveying a serene and natural setting. Z��LAL: I just wanted to get detailed explanations, detailed descriptions to make my life easier. I believe that there is nothing that I cannot do. There are more than 330 million visually impaired people worldwide. So, our job is to develop the most efficient assistants to create the highest quality of their lives. When visually impaired people log into the application, first of all, they can connect to their own AI assistants to get descriptions from whatever they upload to the app. We have a small team right now, and our main purpose is to grow our team in order to extend our operations. Google Play has an important role in our development journey. Right now, I have a dashboard. We use the necessary tools to develop our technologies, and also reach out to the huge community. We use Google Play Console in order to solve the important bugs and to make recent updates. And also with our API, we integrate our technology to third-party technologies as well, such as vehicles and airports to assist them during the journey. For example, if you need to check your ticket or if you need to identify the right exit doors, you can use From Your Eyes without needing anyone else. APP: On the right side, two people are standing. Z��LAL: With our application From Your Eyes, we are presenting the most technologic form of vision. APP: In the image, there is a sliced baked good placed on a dark blue plate. The baked good has a deep brown color. Z��LAL: We launched another app, FYE, for the real-time image processing and, of course, the user experience is a bit different. Thanks to the progress of technology, I can do whatever I want. I have no fears. I can hang out with my friends, cook in the kitchen, or travel in an airport or something like that. It doesn't matter for me. I can easily say that yes, we solved this. [MUSIC PLAYING]
