Here is Aipoly: the app that helps the blind

Among the hundreds of new items that populate the Apple Store every month, there will be a new one in November application dedicated to the blind. It's about a app which allows blind and visually impaired people to be able to know what objects they have in front of them.

The application is called Aipoly and was created by Albert Rizzoli, son of Angelo Rizzoli, former editor of Corriere della Sera.

Together with his Australian colleague Marita Cheng, Alberto Rizzoli, 22, invented this application and found the decisive support of Google which helped them with a loan. With Aipoly the user takes a photo of the object he wants to identify and, thanks to an automatic voice, he will receive from an automatic voice the name of the object just photographed. The plus weapon of this app is a database of millions of images. The software will compare the photo with many similar images present in the memory.

Here is the presentation video of the app on the official Youtube account.
