"See the World Through LLMs" is a project that we aim to build a chat bot using LLMs and vision capabilities to assist the blind people. The project would benefit to the blind people as they will be able to communicate with chat bot and get assistance from it in a way such that they can ask questions about their surrounding. This is possible as we use vision capabilities and multi modal capabilities of the LLMs. This will produce huge impact for the day to day lives of the blind people as they can get more reliable information by just chatting with the bot. Further, We expect this would reduce the requirement of expensive technologies and future versions would be able to run in mobile devices without any specific engineering or building dedicated devices.
