Open Independence is looking for blind and low-vision iPhone users to test an early nonverbal communication app.
The app uses the iPhone camera during interactions with other people to give users an idea of their body language or nonverbal communication. Because these cues are personal and context-dependent, the app is not intended to read someone's mind or present one interpretation as certain.
The beta supports VoiceOver. It is unpaid, open to any age and location, and has no required time commitment. The app does not collect or store user data.
We would especially value feedback on VoiceOver use, clarity, usefulness, and whether the experience feels respectful. Open Independence is led by a blind founder, and testers will help shape what changes before a wider release.
To join, select "Communication" on the beta form:

Please use the app only in situations where everyone involved is comfortable with the camera being used.
