Lookup is a new Google application whose goal is simple. This application will tell us what the camera of our mobile is seeing. This is possible thanks to artificial intelligence applied to image recognition.

What is this for? Mainly it is an accessibility tool, since it allows people who cannot see to use their Android as a kind of guide, indicating what they have in front.

The operation of the application is that simple. Aim with the camera and the application will tell you what you are seeing.

The application does not offer great functions, but is more a simple purpose application. It also includes a shopping mode that helps us read barcodes, although we have not got it to work properly.

Applications like Lookup show that artificial intelligence can also work to assist people with disabilities.
