There is now a new technology that helps the blind or visually impaired to see. The device has the ability to help it’s users regain their independence and assist them in their daily lives.

The OrCam MyEye enables it’s users to read books, newspapers, labels, signs, currency, and even computer/smartphone screens. MyEye is capable of facial recognition that identifies friends and family of the user. The device can also recognize colors allowing the user to differentiate red and green pedestrian signs when crossing the street or it can help them recognize clothing colors. MyEye attaches to a pair of glasses by a magnetic clip. To control the device when reading, users must use their hands to either wave at, swipe, or point at the text.
The OrCam MyEye technology gives these people their independence and it allows them to engage in the world around them. OrCam MyEye is now partnering up with the Florida Technology Center to promote these products and share its data with more people. https://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/12630/new-glasses-technology-allows-the-blind-to-see-their-surroundings
