How an app is helping low vision people navigate life better - BBC News
From ordering off detailed menus to looking at complex images, people with low vision can come up against hurdles navigating the everyday.
The Rebokeh app has been designed for those with a visual impairment to differentiate images or read far away text better.
It uses customisable smartphone camera filters that users can change to suit their own visual impairment, that can make images brighter, or alter colour contrast.
Rebecca Rosenberg, CEO and founder of ReBokeh, who has albinism herself, said: "For a lot of people it is the difference between being able to read a menu at Starbucks or McDonalds when it is up in the back and needing to ask someone else for help".
