#google lookout

Google has announced a new app called Lookout that helps the blind or visually impaired become more independent. The Lookout app for Android helps the blind or visually impaired by giving auditory cues as they encounter objects, text, and people around them. Google recommends putting the phone in a lanyard around the user's neck or in a shirt pocket, with the camera pointing away from the body. From there, Lookout delivers spoken notifications, designed to be used with minimal interaction so users can stay engaged with their activity. https://youtu.be/k1mz7b-A22c Lookout allows the user to choose from four modes: Home, Work & Play, Scan or Experimental (this allows you to test out features Google is working on). When you select a specific mode, Lookout will deliver information that’s relevant to the selected activity. The Lookout app will arrive in the Google Play Store in the U.S this year. There was some sort of mass panic last night when Google was spewing a warning "this site may harm your computer" on all their search results.
