Can an app possibly give sight to the blind?

That’s the vision behind Avi, an in-development mobile app that uses a smartphone camera to scan the world for objects, people, and text; before using audio to relay this information to sight-impaired users. And while a project like this might sound impressive coming out from the labs of an established tech giant, it’s actually the work of Juan Pablo Ortiz: a 19-year-old programmer from Guatemala who began work on the app when he was just 13.
