On sale there was "virtual system of" blind OrCam Bashny.Net

Hi, Habr!

One of the "pieces" of my post Empowering now available. This device OrCam , allows people with visual impairments to "hear" what surrounds them. Development can be called a "system of the virtual view».

Under habrakatom - video and details.





video only serves to illustrate the possibilities - not all features are available in it at the moment.



The photo and video - Ms. Negrin suffering колобомой, congenital defect structures of the eye, which affects one in ten thousand. She works in a startup ORCAM and can use this gadget as a "read" and move freely and easily.

Features h4>
The technology scans the surrounding space and recognize faces. If the owner of the gadget is approaching familiar person or place (and these things are added to the device memory), then OrCam report it. Gestures allow you to "remember" things and persons.

Sensor with earphone (bone conduction) is attached to the glasses. Portable base - worn in a pocket or on a belt. Inconvenient, of course, the presence of the wires leading from the sensor to the base.

For the operation of the device must be specified in the direction you want. This can be a sign, and the vehicle or in the newspaper text. Gadget works only with English, but the company plans to fix this problem.

Usage h4>
On assurances of developers use OrCam occurs at the level of intuition. Enough to put on the device and point to the desired object, or in the right direction. Training should take only a few minutes.

The camera detects objects and persons, as well as printed text, handwritten but she does not understand. Perhaps, and this problem will be solved in the future.

Price h4>
Device stands about 2, 5 thousand dollars. Currently available in the United States and Israel.
