According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention report, approximately 12 million people ages 40 and older have vision impairment in the United States.

The “See What I See” (SWIS) app — available now on the Apple Store and Google Play Store — allows users to experience what visually impaired patients experience every day.
How this works is that SWIS provides video-conferencing capabilities that allow everyone on the video conference call to see what the smart glasses user is seeing through their smart glasses.
