Lookout was announced last year in Google I / O. To identify the objects around you, artificial intelligence technology is used, similar to that used in Google Lens . Lookout is designed to work continuously and monitor the space near you and provides audio feedback, describing what he sees. For proper operation, Google recommends that users wear a phone with a cord around their neck so that the camera does not interfere with work.

After opening, you do not need to press any other buttons in the application; This allows users who may have difficulty using their phone to get started right away. The company said that the technology will not constantly detect objects, and invited all those who use it, to leave feedback, contacting the support team for people with disabilities .

If you are in the USA, you have a Pixel device and you use English as the main language of your phone, go to the Google Play Store and try Lookout.
