Visual Impairment Navigation Devices

OrCam Announced New Features for the MyEye 2 at CES 2020

— January 13, 2020 — Tech
OrCam announced at CES 2020 that it created new features for its 'MyEye 2,' which is a product that reads words to visually impaired individuals. However, now the MyEye will have the ability to determine faces, as well as objects and more. Users will also now have the ability to ask the device about their surroundings, for example the MyEye 2 will be able to inform the user if there is a door in front of them.

Overall the new features for the device will greatly improve the lives of visually impaired people by helping them navigate their environment in a more streamlined way.

OrCam also improved the natural language processing system, which will provide a more interactive reading experience for users.
