If I remember correctly, this came out of a OneWeek project - Microsoft's company-wide weeklong hackathon. Very cool to see a final published version of this!
You are right, this project evolved from the week long 2015 company wide Hackathon, with a participation of close to 16,000 employees, where people are allowed to take a week off to build anything of interest. Many accessibility projects have come out, off the top of my head: (1) Eye Controlled Wheelchair for people with ALS (2) Color Binoculars - App for people who are colorblind (3) Hearing AI - App including live…

Also on the technical side, the fact that Microsoft (Microsoft!) is releasing an iOS-only app, even if it comes from its research department, is maybe more shocking than its open-source releases of late. Who are you, Microsoft?!
