Google Lookout is a free accessibility app developed by Google for Android devices running version 6.0 and above. It uses on-device AI and computer vision to provide real-time audio descriptions of the environment without requiring a persistent internet connection. The app is available in more than 30 languages and is deeply integrated with Android accessibility services including TalkBack.
Lookout operates through several task-specific modes: Explore mode identifies objects, people, and text in the surroundings and announces them aloud; Text mode reads signs, labels, and text as the camera moves across them; Documents mode captures and reads a full page of text or handwriting; Currency mode identifies banknote denominations; Food labels mode identifies packaged food products by barcode or packaging label; and Find mode helps users locate specific objects — such as doors, chairs, or vehicles — by indicating their direction and approximate distance in real time.
Designed for Android users who are blind or have low vision, particularly those already in the Google ecosystem who benefit from a deeply integrated, no-cost visual assistance tool built natively into Android accessibility infrastructure.

The cane is built to handle common urban obstacles such as cobblestones, sewer grates, and uneven sidewalks.
Awarewolf
TAMI is a wearable assistive device designed for blind and vision-impaired users that integrates obstacle detection technology into a modern glasses frame. It uses haptic vibrations to alert wearers to upper-body-level obstacles that a white cane cannot detect. The device aims to increase independent mobility and confidence during travel.
Lighthouse Tech
