Watch this BBC piece on the app, Be My Eyes which connects visually impaired users who need help with a small problem with volunteers who are willing to help. The app has been around for a few years now but it’s still gaining in popularity. The video walks you through an actual call between a mother who needs to find the right color thread and the volunteer who has offered a few minutes to help.
