    Descripción/Resumen:
    According to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, an estimated 36 million people are blind and an additional 217 million have moderate to severe visual impairment. This means that a total of 253 million individuals must rely on their four available senses, primarily touch, in order to perceive their surroundings. One major limitation of this is that the individual must be within arm’s reach (or cane’s reach) in order to determine what is in front of them. Iris changes this by providing a mobile application with a voice-controlled user interface to improve environmental awareness for the blind. With Iris, users are able to take a picture and have the application describe it to them with additional information on specific entities within the picture if requested. Through accessibility features and the power of machine learning, Iris is an extension to the user’s senses.
