You have put your white cane somewhere and you don't remember where? Or look for the electrical outlet in your hotel room?
Don't panic, just go to the "Seach for an object" feature and choose form the list (you can also type or say) the object you are looking for. If it is present among the objects recognisable by OOrion, you can start its search and scan your environment with the smartphone camera.
