    Default Be My Eyes app



    Really neat idea. Basically, you join a network of sighted volunteers who answer video calls from blind people to help them in situations only sight can help.

    High volunteer to blind ratio, so apparently it can take a few weeks to get a call. When I first logged in it was about 136k blind to 2 million sighted.

    Really excited to get my first call.

    If you have an iPhone, you would just search "Be My Eyes" in the app store.

    For an Android device, I have no idea as I have never once had an Android phone.

    I guess I’m the only a$$hole whose mind immediately went to the potential for evil pranks.
