The title of this post refers to a game that helps a young child recognize objects and be observant of their surroundings. OrCam’s MyEye 3 Pro works at the opposite end of the age spectrum. It allows adults to recognize objects and people they can no longer see.
This less-than-an-ounce device attaches to glasses, identifies objects, reads text, and provides an aural explanation of what it sees. It takes commands via voice or hand gestures. The AI assistance summarizes text for the reader.
As seen in the above video and on their website, MyEye is a game changer for those with low vision by augmenting vision with capabilities including:
- Face recognition that identifies a friend who otherwise would be a blur
- Text recognition for reading a menu and finding healthy items
- Helping a person find items from her refrigerator to assist with cooking
- Summarizing text from physical media
OrCam’s MyEye is part of a product line that includes OrCam Learn, OrCam Hear, and OrCam Read. The common thread to these products is the focus on improving people’s quality of life. OrCam’s products are serious business. The freedom provided by the OrCam products allows adults to regain a sense of wonder. They experience life through the eyes of a child once again.
