On Global Accessibility Day, Google unveiled new accessibility features across a wide range of products like Maps, Lookout, Android and more.
The Google Lookout app, which helps blind people or those with low vision get more information about their surroundings is getting a new functionality that allows users to search for specific objects like bathrooms, seating, and more.
Google says Lookout will also notify users about the distance and directions to those items, according to Indian Express. Using the Look to Speak app, users can now use the text-free mode to select pre-written customisable phrases with their eyes. The new mode also lets you select and personalise symbols, photos and emojis.
Project Gameface, an open-sourced project, will empower differently-able people to control the mouse cursor using their face.
