Pointing is a fairly intuative thing, i'm sure life-long totals can point reasonable accurately if they try. Pointing with a device is slightly more challenging, and the feedback loop is long, so not learned easily, but not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. any level of sight below being able to visuallyi dentify the target or more usefully, see the results in any form by hwich to evaluate your efforts, is more or less the same for all.
You have to show them to a sighted at some point, and they feedback how your aim is. Once you got that right, you can take a snap with reasonable confidence after that. We liked that 1shot app that starts taking pictures as soon as it is launched and stops when you stop it with the home button. So voice-activated could have mileage, and more usefully perhaps, the ability to change commands to words that are not going to occur commonly in a populated environment... wouldn't want the app running away with anything and everything it hears. I wonder about time lag, remember that Siri and some other voice activated things send the sound to remote servers for analysis; so out and about could pose a time lag between command, processing, communication both ways, and final execution... and does it tell you hwen it's done? This latter point might limit what you can do with it, and a good reason to have the 1touch ap, too.

I presume you have to point the camera to take pictures? I have never been able to take pictures as I have no vision. Kawal.
