VQA

VQA (Visual Question Answering) is an AI task in which a system answers natural-language questions about the content of an image. In assistive contexts, VQA systems such as Be My AI, Seeing AI, and Aira let blind and low-vision users ask about their visual surroundings - from reading labels to locating objects - and receive spoken or text responses. Modern VQA is built on vision-language models and large language models, enabling multi-turn conversations, but current systems still struggle with spatial reasoning, distance estimation, and inaccessible image framing.
