It’s Time for a Braille Smartphone
Voim (seeing in Korean) is a smartphone concept for the blind that includes functions to make communication easier. It features route navigation, word recognition and object identification, which are displayed as braille on a silicon screen or transmitted as audio cues via the detachable bluetooth headset. Although smartphone applications & braille cell phones do exists, a full-fledged concept like this is a ways away.
Designers: Youngseong Kim & Eunsol Yeom

Why exactly does a smart phone for a blind person need a camera?

scanner

In the scenario board it shows the camera identifies the object in hand so I suppose its an eye for them
