The apparatus may include a portable image sensor configured to be worn by the visually impaired user and to capture real-time image data from an environment of the user. The apparatus may also include at least one portable processor device configured to determine an existence of face-identifying information in the real-time image data, and access stored facial information and audible indicators. The at least one portable processor device may also be configured to compare the face-identifying information with the stored facial information, and identify a match.
