EyeCYou 1.0

EyeCYou is an innovative assistive technology designed for individuals with visual impairments, utilizing auditory cues to convey human presence. The application delivers a variety of descriptions regarding the physical appearance of individuals present in the user's environment.

How to Use

• Prior to using EyeCYou, it is imperative to review the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By utilizing the application, you acknowledge acceptance of these terms.
