I’m not in New York person myself, in fact I live halfway across the world, from all of these, but I think this would be good for anyone living there

Although I'm not a new yorker either, this is a really good find, thank you for reporting!

How do we aim? For someone with low vision this might work, as they will be able to aim the camera without getting closer maybe. But for someone with no vision like myself, this sounds practically useless, unless I misread the article. I wish it worked though.

The above post from the one I am composing is exactly the reason to contact the developers of this app to find out more information. This article was probably copied from cool blind tech wherein i obtained same said information. I'm sure there will be a demonstration of this app when it's begun it's pilot project which the article has specified was the next stage of development.

Never had an issue moving arounc the L in Chicago. The train for those who are not from here. How to transfer and so on. They even have someone to help you if that is what you feel confortable with.
