It is best used with smart glasses and stereo headphones for an immersive experience. Features include live talking OCR, color identifier, compass, face detector, and GPS locator. The app can be set to launch automatically after a reboot but can be disabled in the settings. It also includes a cataract simulator for sighted users.
