Just helped someone on Be My Eyes, he was walking from his house to a shop about 10 minutes away.
Helped him navigate the streets and cross the road and so on. Luckily he lived in the UK so I knew what I was seeing 😅
He was wearing Meta’s AI glasses, which help him a lot but don’t currently describe things like lamp posts/scaffolding etc, which was where I was needed.
He made the call from the glasses also, and it was great that I could see what he could see also.
One of my favourite things is helping people on Be My Eyes 😍
Such a great app.

I personally find a bit less of a need for volunteer help these days because of image recognition, but there are still use cases for which it either doesn't work or is far too slow, so I do still rely on volunteer help once in a while.

I still regularly get calls, one of my favourites was a man who was going out on a date and had recently shaved wanted to check if he looked sharp.
He really did :)
