About
OrCam is focused on harnessing the power of artificial vision by incorporating pioneering technology into a wearable platform designed to improve the lives of individuals who are blind or visually impaired and have reading difficulties. OrCam harness the power of innovative AI assistive technology to support people with low vision, visual impairments, and reading fatigue with wearable and handheld devices that communicate text and other visual information out loud. OrCamโ€™s MyEye communicates visual information by utilizing a small, intuitive smart camera that is mounted on the wearerโ€™s eyeglass frames and connects to a pocket-sized computer. MyEye instantly and discreetly reads any text printed on any surface through a tiny speaker positioned toward the userโ€™s ear. The device can also recognize faces and identify products and currency. OrCam Learn is a new interactive solution developed to improve fluency, accuracy, and comprehension for students with reading and learning differences, including dyslexia and ADHD.
