Description

Be My Eyes is a service that enables visually impaired people to connect with sighted assistance, via a smartphone app. You can get help with things like finding a lost item or identifying something you've just pulled from your fridge. But Be My Eyes are soon to release an additional feature called Virtual Assistant that uses artificial intelligence. It's thought that it will eliminate the need for sighted assistance and can suggest a recipe based on that something you've just pulled from your fridge. The BBC's Senior Correspondent in the US, Gary O'Donoghue has tested the new offering and he, along with Be My Eyes' CEO Mike Buckley, tell us more about how it works.

The world's first European Blind Football league is underway. Over the Easter Weekend, The Royal National College For The Blind's team played European sides and defended their spot at the top of the league table. We hear from RNC team captain and England player, Azeem Amir and RNC and England coach, Adam Bendall about the significance of this league and what is to come from the next two rounds.
