Following on from a very successful pilot at the Museum of Craft and Design (MCD) in San Francisco Envision’s AI assistant Ally could help to open up access to museums for blind and partially sighted people. 

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Karthik Mahadevan, CEO and co-founder of Envision to firstly find out how the pilot project came about using Ally to open up access to museums for blind and partially sighted people. 

Karthik also explained to Toby how the technology works in a museum and also shared some of the comments and feedback from visually impaired people who took part in the pilot.
