Gemini Guided Vision turns phones into eyes for blind users

Google is gradually rolling out Guided Vision to Gemini Live as part of the September 2026 Android Drop. The feature turns a phone into a conversational set of eyes, analyzing the live camera feed and coaching users on framing via spoken directions. It runs on Android 9 or newer with at least 2GB of RAM.
