The blind and vision-impaired people will soon be able to gaze at the stars through a new app being developed by a Brisbane startup company.

The Astreos app, developed by OSeyeris, is designed to be used with a smartphone as an augmented reality application to allow people without sight the experience of looking at the night sky.

Despite the focus on blind users, the app also includes intricate 3D visualisations of heavenly bodies, allowing people to see the stars in a new way.
