MARTIN GRAYSON: Pleasure, thank you.
DANIELA MASSICETI: Thanks very much, Amber. Nice to be here.
TINGLE: So, Daniela, let’s start with a Find My Things overview. What is it, how does it work, and who’s it for?
MASSICETI: I think the best way I can describe Find My Things is a personalizable object recognizer. So when we think about object recognizers in the past, they’ve, kind of, been what I would call generic object recognizers. So they can only really recognize generic things like maybe chairs, desks, tables. But for the blind and low-vision community, who are really key users of object recognition apps and technologies, for them, that’s not quite enough. They need to be able to recognize all of their personal objects and items.
