Open Independence

EchoVision is a "watch this for me" web prototype from Open Independence, designed for blind and low-vision users. Point a camera or shared screen at something and ask for one thing, such as "find the milk" or "watch the door." It analyzes a rolling buffer of short video clips with Meta's Muse Spark and tries to stay quiet until it has a task-relevant answer or change. It supports finding, waiting for a requested change, and reporting supported actions such as a door opening. Spoken questions use Muse Voice; replies use the device's built-in speech. The demo shows real model answers to prerecorded test footage, with added narration clearly labeled. Microphone transcription, app speech and end-device behavior were not verified in that recording pass. Brief events can be missed and answers can be wrong; this is not a safety alert. Built solo during the hackathon as a standalone prototype of behavior planned for Aivi.
