*Dear Participants,*

*We are very excited to share that our upcoming Tech Corner session will
feature an overview and discussion of the Be My Eyes app—an innovative tool
designed to support individuals with vision loss through real-time visual
assistance.*

*🗓** Date: Friday, May 16th, 2025*

*🕚*
* Time: 11:00 AM **💬** Topic: “Be My Eyes: Real-World Support Through
Visual Assistance”*

*In our fast-paced world, technology plays a crucial role in enhancing
accessibility and improving the quality of life for individuals with vision
loss. This session will focus on the Be My Eyes app, which connects blind
and low-vision users with sighted volunteers and company representatives
for visual support through live video.*

*What to Expect:*

   - *App Overview: Learn about the key features and how the app works.*
   - *Use Case Examples: Discover real-life scenarios where Be My Eyes has
   made a difference.*
   - *Community Sharing: Even if you're already familiar with the app, we
   encourage you to join us! You'll have the opportunity to share your own
   stories, tips, and recommendations. This is how we build community—by
   learning from and supporting one another.*

*Why Attend?*

*Be My Eyes empowers users to navigate their environment, solve everyday
challenges, and connect with others in meaningful ways. Whether you're
exploring new assistive technologies or looking to share your experiences,
