Thomas Domville, from AppleVis, did a really good podcast showing the capability of the new upcoming virtual volunteer in the Be My Eyes app. Highly recommend giving it a listen. Just shows the power of AI and how it can change the life of someone that is blind. https://www.applevis.com/podcasts/introducing-be-my-eyes-virtual-volunteer-demonstration-some-game-changing-real-world-use. #AppleVis #Podcast #BeMyEyes #AI #Blind
Introducing Be My Eyes' Virtual Volunteer: A Demonstration of Some Game Changing Real-World Use Cases | AppleVis

In this episode of our podcast, Thomas Domville demonstrates the power of the Virtual Volunteer feature, set to come to the Be My Eyes app in late Q3 2023. Currently in beta testing, this feature, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 model, has the potential to be a game changer for people with visual impairments. It offers a virtual sighted assistant that can generate context and understanding for images, allowing for a greater degree of independence in everyday tasks.

@douglawlor @brianhartgen That is their hopes, but they will not commit to any actual date. Its basically whenever they feel it works good enough to release to the public. The CEO did an interview on the latest Main Menu podcast.
