<TARGET USERS>
How do we enable and empower visually impaired to glean input from their surrounding ambiance that exists beyond a simple I-O of sight and sound? How can we capture details that are not expressed in written words or speech, but in the subtleties of facial expressions?
HOW CAN WE HELP PEOPLE FEEL A SMILE :)
