I saw this on my breakfast cereal box (in the US) and looked it up. A company called Navilens made this to help visually impaired people with things like street signs, etc… neat!
EDIT TO ADD: Haha, I forgot I am on lemmy so we’re discussing the technology and licensing issues, instead of focusing on how this might improve the lives of visually impaired people.
Thats cool & looks useful for alot of people. Type of app my grandma would use for fine print on products.
I hope the doomers didnt get you down too much. Open source is great, but options like this are still better than nothing :)
