Thanks Sam I appreciate the opportunity to connect with my Low Vision Son on a level alone I find a challenge. Very inspiring I will return for more.
Reading signs would be A big help to some.
I am so hyped to watch this video I was hoping you would make a video on this.
Thanks.
Was going to ask you a ? 19 min in but you already answered it for me.. lol.. You are covering it all.. Thank you so much for your content!
FROM CROATIA: Dear,
I lack sufficient words to express my enthusiasm for the information on your channel, nor do I have enough gratitude. The quality of the video and your presentation is truly the best I could find, and for that, I congratulate you. I have worked in the education system for almost 30 years as a teacher and as a principal, I have a PhD in pedagogy, but I have rarely met someone who coordinates all the performance details so well.
I have similar visual difficulties as you described in your case, and therefore, I am thrilled with the aids you represent, especially with the Envision Glasses (although I also like the Aceseidhe VR from Zoomax, where language is not important to me).
I am interested in whether there is support for other languages in Envision Glasses, besides English, for example, the Croatian language?
With utmost respect,
Marijan Madunić
Hi thank you for this review, it made my mind up I was dithering between this and and or cam. I’ve just finished filling in the order form using your code hopefully Matt get you a bit of compensation.
Thank you for your thorough review. I appreciate your video
Thank you! Great video as usual. Looks like a great item.
It would be a good idea to create one like this for people whom are both deaf and blind. Maybe it could read their sign language and translate it to audio. It could vibrate different ways to tell them when it works or other functions.
Hi this is a wonderful device for the Blind people roba Aunt price is very high but Price is very high of this device and your channel is very wonderful channel I appreciate you
Thanks for the good review. My glaucoma is progressing quickly & I’m amazed at the wonderful technology for visually impaired people.
You’re very welcome
Now that you’ve tested several wearables, which do you prefer as a person with a loss of center vision?
Sam, this is an amazing piece of equipment and as always, you do an excellent job at these demonstrations. I really appreciate all of your videos. As I mentioned once before, because of your videos I was able to get an OrCam read device and it has been extremely helpful. The only problem I have with your videos even though I am subscribed I am not getting the notifications for them much anymore. Only a few notifications come through and I find the rest of them by going to the UA-cam search feature for your channel. Anyway, thanks again for all of the great work that you do.
Sorry to bother you, but I was looking into getting the orcam pro. I’ve been wondering how these products hold up to frequent use? Like, is its build quality able to handle accidental drops and just plain usage for months and years, if that makes any sense. I would sincerely appreciate it if you would be willing to share your experience in this.
Either way, thank you for your time
@@JazzyCat007 I have owned and OrCam read for approximately one year now and have found it quite useful and effective. As far as the durability is concerned, I have dropped it a few times but it has not seem to be any worse for the wear. It still works fine. It takes a little bit of adaptation or time to get used to using it properly but it’s not that difficult at all. Overall, though it seems a little flimsy. It is actually fairly tough. Of course, anything can happen to any piece of equipment but for the most part I have had no real difficulties with it. I did have initially some problem getting it to connect to Wi-Fi but I’m told that it has been made much more easy with the current software updates. Again, I think that you will find it quite useful especially if you have someone train you with it initially. If anyone has any more questions, please post them here and as a user of the OrCam I will definitely try to answer them.
@@farelheart5031 Thank you so much for answering as well as opening it up for more questions. I, and I’ sure others in the same boat as me, sincerely appreciate your willingness to do so. If I have anymore questions will drop it here. Either way, thanks again and I hope you have a wonderful day 😺
Using a hot spot works great with the Envision Glasses.
Wooww, technology is a great thing!! Great video for a great item. Thank God for Google and you. Keep on sharing great material please.
Thank you
thank you that you write the functions in big leters!
Hi Sam, I'm incredibly grateful you are able to learn how to use different technologies like this so you can share different devices for us like this. Since I've lost so much vision, I've also experienced some impairment of my cognitive abilities and I am still learning how that has fallen out for me. I'm also still getting used to how much slower using adaptive tech is compared to just having vision. Sigh. Sounds like for my level of vision, I'm still best off using the OR Cam I got after a lot of thought. I'm also part of a peer support group for my region that meet twice a month online, and I have mentioned your channel a couple of times already. :) We are in Canada, but so much of your info is relevant to us.
Sounds like this device, the Google glass one, still has a ways to go to be reliable enough in all situations. I'm not a fan of the need for wi fi or a hotspot.

I need a pair of these glasses.
As a blind person, I could see a lot of drawbacks with the device. It takes a while for it to be able to identify things with peeping and recognition. I’m hoping in the future they have something that will be more direct. Another words tell you instantly what’s in front of you and then the fact that you you had to be on a Wi-Fi that I was so it’s another deterrent to it and it is expensive so But you know for some people it might work I don’t think it would work for me though as a blind person
Thank you very much.
Very interesting product.
Please compare or am and this one.
Specially add price in that comparisons...
My vision changes every day. Been to many eye doctors and got no help. Sometimes i Have a lot of trouble reading so since I have vision that goes up and down the library for the blind allows me to get library books. Some days I'm legally blind some days I am not. I am blind in one eye. :)
Great video. Can you compare the envision glasses with the orcam.
Would be neat if they teamed up with Aira or My Blind Eyes, in case someone in your contact list wasn't available.
Thank you.
Question: will the find people feature connect to apps like Facebook to determine identity of person
I search review for biontic telescom glasess. Did you make test and see those glasess? Thank you for all your works!!!
Hey Sam, maybe you can put a little clip in this video saying that if you just want to use the envision app in conjunction with your phone instead of getting the glasses you can and its very reasonably priced!
The app is free now. I am useing for 2 weeks or more.
Very informative.
Excellent review and presentation. As always. I am Magine shopping will be a future app since you didn’t mention it.
Thanks Kenneth! It doesn’t have any type of barcode reader or anything like that. Just basically reads text aloud.
looks to me fantastic!
I kind of want the text to let me do word search quickly like checking for key words in paper docs or for looking for labeled items like book spines or food. Like key word twizzlers and it high lights the twizzlers text.
Those glasses are so cool 😎
I bought orcam but really strugged using it if there wasn't extra bright lights
Hi Great video .
hello, congratulations on your video. I recently discovered these glasses and now I will look for a place to try them on and buy them also in Italy. I wanted to ask you something that I did not understand: there are the find objects and find people mode, but is there also a way to find objects and people without selecting one of the two modes?
Let me explain: if I'm on the street, is there a way to explore objects and people to find out what's around me without selecting an object? Thanks in advance.
The glasses sound interesting, if you are around your house but for the price it doesn’t sound like it would be useful when you’re out and about, would they work trying to use Aira or Be My Eyes outside?
It is so nice for the blind life to show us the good and the bad of the envision glasses. However, living in Africa, the glasses are so expensive even at the discount of the blind life.
Nice review Sam. Informative as usual.
I have been very interested in the glasses for sometime. However, I don't think the features justify the price since the app performs the same functions as the app.
I would like a feature that would better describe a scene as I am out wandering around streets. I occasionally get turned around on walks and it would be great if it could sync with google maps that can assist with getting around.
Also I'd like it to help identify cars, bikes, and people and dogs walking by me on walks. I've had some close calls while crossing the street as I can't always hear a car.
The app is actually more functional, as your phone is always online. The glasses are notoriously of-line when you need them the most. Making a hotspot out of your phone is not a reliable solution, because your phone can decide on it’s own to shut down internet access for the device.
Hey Sam.
I was wondering do you think you could use these glasses when playing like card games or dice games? Or games in general? Whether it is video games or manual games.
Thank you Sam, Greta job. I Have Heard about ocutech bioptic glasses, have you ever tries them? Would you please gibe us your opinión? Thank you!
On your phone if you have that feature available cuz I have personal hotspot on my phone
I need those glasses to read portions of a book or documents. Do I needwifi?
Thanks for the review Sam, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the envision glasses vs. the Orcam glasses. They seem to be really similar in many ways.
I have both: Envision Glasses are having 2x battery life and faster charging, lower price, more languages, video calling, more updates 1 every month, you get app Envision too, you can export text, call your Ally a support person, there's scene description and handwriting recognition - you don't have this with OrCam. It's light rain resistant but not waterproof! With Smith Optics Frames you can put on custom lenses but they cost 300$ extra still feel cheap plastic sadly no other options. I wish they could build in SIM card slot or eSIM that would resolve connection issues, i don't want to kill my phone battery to use it as hotspot or buy extra little modem and data plan for Glasses only :/
OrCam can be placed on almost on any glasses and any side you prefer. It has full offline functionality, much better text people recognition accuracy but it's limited to only 3 predefined languages you can't switch or choose - it's defined by region you buy it. Battery life is max 2 hours, it's smaller, more comfortable, performs much better in low light and has LED light which it can use automatically if needed - Envision Glasses sadly don't have no light if there's to dark they won't work they won't even warn you it's too dark. OrCam is bit more polished: tells you if you're holding text upside down, if some text was unrecognized and where, tells you how to fix it by moving your head to right position or text and guides you with that. It has Point with Finger for fine navigation what you point it will be read to you. It's drizzle resistant but not water resistant.
@@macadamiaowl9702 thanks
@@macadamiaowl9702 thankspq for that. Appreciate it
Pls Tell me about prism glasses
My right eye is shot do they offered with a camera on the left side???
Amazing!
Great review, as always. I know you’ve worked with the OrCam device. How does this compare to it? Could the ‘read’ option be used to read what’s on the screen of an electronic device (smartphone, tablet, laptop/desktop)? I know those devices have accessibility options, but the members of my FB group often have a difficult time setting and using them. Thanks for all that you do.
This is amazing
does this support language other than english? like Indonesia language
This sounds pretty good and much less expensive than The or cam with similar features not exact of course, but similar. It’s now August 20 23… Do you think your discount code is still good? And how do I find a distributor? I wonder probably from their website. Would prefer to use an affiliate link from you if possible as I always like to pay it forward. Thanks so much once again for all you do to help us with our best blind life.
Can you do a video comparing OrCam vs these?
I don’t know if this helps Julia. I have The or Kim. This device seems to me does a lot more. It finds objects. Also has an object Explora I don’t know exactly how good that works but it seems to me this device has more features. I do like The or Kim but sometimes I get disappointed when it only describes maybe tables chairs in the door and that’s it. Also I think this device researching it has a wider lens it’ll read text better. I’m going to get this device and try it out for 30 days you have it free for 30 days and then you have to either send it back or buy it. I don’t have to have something that reads better but also going outside if it knew there was a car in front of me besides my having my cane this would be great or going somewhere it seems like it describes people even better than the oar camp does.
Text Sam I really enjoy your reviews you’re the greatest. It would be great to hear your comments comparing the or cam versus the InVision glasses. I have The or Kim but still would like something a little bit better a little disappointed with your Camden it hasn’t grown further. But I’d love to see a comparison if you could do that that would be great I’d like I value your opinion.
Which worked better for you .. Envision or OrCam MyEye Pro..?
Overall, I think the My eye Pro is a better device.
I wonder if you could use your phone as a hotspot for the glasses to be able to use the feature like seeing a scene at the park?
Yes, if you have the ability to connect a hotspot, that will work.
Can you mounted on a pair of prescription glasses Like glasses a doctor would you issue you Or do you have to use the frame that it comes with
You cannot mount it on prescription glasses. However, they do have an option where you can put your prescription into their frames. I believe they have a couple different styles you could choose from.
Can this device adopt few of Indian languages, like Hindi,Tamil,kannada.
Which is better the Omicron MyEye or the Envision glasses? I only need a device for reading. I have a visual tracking challenge.
I would look at the orc him read
But it is available on android phones and the app has all the features except calling.
Can you use it to read text from a Facebook live
I can not read it is to small and when I do a live my face is so close to phone or tablet
Possibly, depends on your vision level
I need to know how to get the connector for my myeye. Is there a place I can order that without buying the whole item again?
I would just contact the company and see if they can replace that piece.
Hello Sam. Do the envision glasses look good when you wear them? do they look bulky on one's face? I'm blind myself but looking good in public is important to me. Love your channel.
Well, it’s definitely noticeable. Imagine a regular pair of reading glasses, but one side has a slightly bulky black device on it. Kind of hard to explain!
I guess you could always use your cell phone as a wifi hot spot so that you're always on wifi.
definitely. Sam mentions that in his wrap up toward the end of the video too.
@@ikylilgrl Have you used the app on your smartphone? If so, how do you like it?
@@pduffy83usa It is very good. Probably easier to pull out your phone and use that than these glasses. Having said that Bixby vision (Samsung) and Google Select and Speak in the camera app do a lot of the same things now, so I haven't installed it on my new phone.
@@pageboy1974 Ahh, I use IOS
Couldn't you connected to your personal hotspot
Where can I buy these ?
My life is upside down because I can't even read my mail or etc. To have a normal life.
Can I use chat GBT math app with theses
Great video! I would consider these for a young child in a classroom. One question, did you try the color identification? Does is just say the main color (red), or can it say rose, scarlet? This was very helpful.. I will reach out to the company for my language question.
Color recognize is sadly for now horrible there are many errors :( it says colors very wrong yellow as blue, green as reed... Sometimes it tries to describe colors more complex but it even misses basic simple ones.
@@macadamiaowl9702 thank you for this. I have a new child I am working with that we think see "no" color, everything is grey, black and white. So I will look at other devices.
@@lesliebailiff7738 the same functions is in Envision App and other similar apps (paid, subscription and free) i think you will get better results with phone because camera can be much larger there (much better optics, lens, sensor much larger and better quality) if it would be for color recognize only the best is devices that have to be touching the object to detect colors in my country those are called colormeters i think. They have best accuracy they're not so prone to outside or artificial light, they have multiple sensors to avoid errors caused by facture or fabric. OrCam or EnvisionGlasses or any app on smartphone wasn't as accurate as those devices. The disadvantage is they don't work on distance they have to have physical contact with that object but they're extremly accurate.
ty
I wish Apple could do something like this
I am completely blind. I have two questions. What are you tapping on? The side of the device or the outside of the right lens? And, can you control it with the app on the phone instead of tapping your face
You tap it on the right side of the glasses frame there's small portion that reacts to touch: touchpad that's hard to feel before your right ear but behind the camera and beginning of glasses frame.
For now there's not much you can do trough app: you can add/remove wifi and bluetooth connection, add ally, add faces, check battery lecel. Most is on Glasses almost nothing for now is in app.
Can you use to drive and read signs
No, no electronic devices, whether they are wearable or handheld, can be used for driving. Bioptic glasses are the only things you can use for driving and they even have a vision level cut off.
Hi, will this device read text on a computer screen as well? Thanks.
Yes, it will read pretty much any printed text if it gets a good image of it
@@theblindlife cool, thanks!
Hi, Sam :)
Does the software work with Alexa devices? I have to be really careful with my limited income.
It's not for Alexa
But presumably you'd be able to use it with mobile data? Wouldn't you?
The cost of this assistive technology (without the discount)?
I gave that information in the video.
Sad to say this can’t help me as my right eye is totally blind. Thank you for product review.
Same situation; like being a southpaw in console gaming.
If I’m not mistaken, you don’t have to be able to see that tiny screen. Sam said he can’t see what’s on it. The features and results are spoken.
Both of my eyes are blind. I tried them out, you don’t need to see the screen at all. It talks to you. But, in my experience, they didn’t work at all, and work very well made.
You can use the product completely blind you don’t have to see anything it is all auditory based
No need for looking at screen there's screenreaders that read everything out to you, screen can be turned off and device still be used even fully blind users are using it.
It reminds me of the orCam device.
It's great but so expesive in Aussie $$$$'s or Philippie Peso PHP...I live in Phil's now so would like to have the currency frature here as the notes are all the same color and size no natter the denomination which is so infuriating especially when on a jeepnie or bus to scrounge for a small note or two. the glasses would help me but I am shy on the cost....
con traduccion español por favor
This kind of technology is absolutely fantastic, I too have a significant sight impairment so much so that I lost my career and I am now medically retired but how on earth do they expect people to afford this technology in the United Kingdom it is 2.5 thousand pounds something most people cannot afford, I had to resort to the Envision app on my mobilewhich is a subscription service I would not in 1 million years pay £2.5 thousand for a pair of glasses
On pre-order campaign it was 1.4000$ but limited time and amount i missed that too. Yeah prices are horrible for every accessibility hardware/software newest OrCam 5.000$, Supernova Screenreader around the same! Because they know we can't afford all of that but we need that, insurance or government, someone will pay for that that's why they ask such high prices. Because those are essential tools for independent living that we need to be competitive against healthy people and someone will pay because we need it. "costs of development are huge and profits low" that what one company replied to me when I argued about price.
@@macadamiaowl9702 I live in the United Kingdom and we have to pay for everything relating to accessibility products we don't have any insurance that will cover it, I visit my local hospital as I have a very rare central areola disease and they have been absolutely fantastic they have given me quite a lot of equipment but there is some that they cannot give me as it is far too expensive and because I lost my job I cannot afford that myself, I once purchased some bioptics and it was the worst purchase of my life I spent nearly £1500 and they were completely and utterly useless.
With a little bit of imagination and some technology I have managed to find my way around most things but I can tell you for certain I will not be buying Orcam or Envision Glasses, unless of course I find them in the second-hand market
It's all very well having all of that wonderful technology. But it is out of the reach of the pockets of many. If I wanted to get that, It would cost over 50000 South African Rand. Besides, not all that impressed with it. I have the app on my phone though
Good app
"New England clam router" ;)
This product looks decent but when will these companies realise that their pricing is prohibitive? If they were a few hundred dollars/pounds, people might take a chance on them but this is far to expensive for most people to make such a considred purchase.
If it only cost a couple hundred dollars, then the companies wouldn’t make any money and wouldn’t be able to put out any product. They would actually lose money. It’s simply the economics of assistive technology. I made a whole video titled why is assistive technology so expensive where I explain all of this. The second half of the video is dedicated to giving suggestions on how people can afford these items.
@@theblindlife Hi Sam, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this. There are millions of visually impaired people out there who would love to get there hands on assistive tech but the short-sightedness (pun intended) of these companies mean that they are selling to a tiny fraction of their potential customer base. Love the channel. Keep up the good work.
@@stuartduncan2772 If they didn’t charge that amount of money like he said they wouldn’t make any money you have to make money when you make product like that things are not free it doesn’t matter if you have vision problems or any type of disability if somethings gonna help you you have to pay someone in order to get itCause they still have families and kids and husbands and wives at home to feed and advice like this device or The or cam device that’s a lot of money in those devices do a lot of things those devices can change a visually impaired persons life traumatically you can also reach out to your Volk Rehab services who can help you get these devices which that’s what happened to me my Voke rehab counselor is purchasing these devices for me currently and several other devices to help me with my job functions
I certainly won't be buying it
How do I contact and how much is a cost
he gives this information in the video.
I request to your channel of this company which has made this device please do let the prize and give us cheap rates of this robot and device this device so that every blind person can buy this device easily and comfort table comfort table
Whats the price?
He says the price in the video.
What they need to do is integrate the ability to instantly read any text that is seen like seeing AI. That way you don’t have to keep tapping every time you want some thing read out loud.
That's how exactly Instant Text mode works you look around and it reads to you all it sees hands free, so great for shopping
the same time this app on android takes
How much on philippine money
About 201,000 pesos
Sam , is there any piece of equipment support Arabic language
I’m pretty sure that most of them do. You would just need to consult the manufacturer to find out if the particular device you’re interested in would support that language.
You do you wear glasses when they don’t help you see I understand the adaptive technology glasses are important but, why the prescription eyeglasses?
Or sunglasses if you're too sensitive to light. There's option without lenses too.
The advantage: you have both hands free to use walking with cane, cooking, doing any activity requiring one or both hands. Glasses/frames are sitting nicely on head no need to hold anything. There will be voice commands in future. When using phone both hands are needed to hold, point and swipe and other complex gestures even while shopping it's much nicer with those Glasses. Now i have shopping bag a purse in one hand, a white cane in other - add a smartphone to that! That would be so uncomfortable! Yes i can take shopping cart but i will bump with it onto many stuff and people. Not always i can ask someone to assist with shopping.
@@sannaslife6395 but he’s blind he doesn’t need prescription glasses just the auditory ones
@@Hannahorse715 Sam's not completely blind, he's legally blind. He has a large blind spot in his central vision but does have some usable peripheral vision. Sam doesn't usually wear glasses actually, but he does own a pair because he has astigmatism. So he does use glasses from time to time.
@@ikylilgrl oh I see thanks for clarifying that matter for me I have bad astigmatisms as well that’s all I have but, I wear my glasses all the time except for doing close up things
time: 20:21 : who i need to say the code?
I'm not sure if that code still works since the video is a bit older but
www.letsenvision.com/envision-glasses once you click to order and go to the payment page there is a box for discount code,.
Not only that anyone who’s blind on the right side cant use anything on the screen.
Not everyone has unlimited hotspot on their phone and this can be a bad thing? The other thing is that spending so much money on these it's nice that you can call your family or friends but it would be nice if you could connect these glasses with Aira and Be My Eyes services as well not only in your home but in the real wide world? They need to since the glasses are app-based it would be nice if they could make it so the app that runs the glasses could use your phone's internet connection or your phone's LTE or phone signal like other apps would use? A big one would be that the glasses neeeeeeeeeeed to be so much cheaper in price??? That is very high priced for something that you can't work in a real-world situation without wifi? I do wear glasses and it would be nice if there was a special bracket that could connect to my glasses so I wouldn't need to purchase frames that I will have to go and get new lenses fitted to just to end up spending more money than I don't already have to begin with? These are nice but I think that there need to be some major improvements? I do have some eye vision but there are some things where it would be nice to find where dropoffs are and to help locate curb-cuts and sometimes find the traffic light color and or the walk signal etc. Reading the headers on trains and buses and other things like would be helpful with these glasses? There are some areas that are painted with the hashtags showing that there is a ramp in an ADA parking spot but sometimes there is not a ramp off of a sidewalk but a dropoff instead. If these glasses could detect things like that and could help tell people where the real ramp is and how steep it is that would help me out the most? Now I do use a pair of wireless headphones and it would be nice if the glasses could connect to my phone and the sound could go over my pair of headphones so I don't have to switch headphones to use this device? It almost sounds like the same app that runs these glasses is the Seeing AI and that app is worthless. It was telling me on my phone that my CPAP was a car when there was no car in the shot real or fake or a toy etc?
Sure, it's nice to have it on your glasses, but $2500 for functions that basically any smartphone is capable of?
I’m user-friendly with only Apple products
THis device could utilize the hotspot feature of your cell phone to truly mobile.
It does.
Sam mentions toward the end of the video that you can use a wifi hot spot.
you
americans still use cash? Here in Canada hardly anyone uses cash it's mostly credit or debit cards in all the stores and shops I have walked into for the past year during the
pandemic. personally, these glasses are way over-priced for what they do. It would be easier to just use my iPhone and run these functions on it. Thank you for the review!
Can the glasses be sized for children?
For now there's only one size fits all. Maybe in future, request at EnvisionGlasses
2k hole crap I cant even start to do that
I am from india being a poor guy i am unable to effort the price of the device, the kind hearted one plz help me in regarding...
The thing I hate about these is that they are only for the right eye. I'm blind in my right eye so a potentially helpful piece of technology is worthless for me just because you cant switch sides
I don't think it's really for a certain eye. It's not magnifying anything for you. It's reading things out loud, so it doesn't if you're totally blind or blind In one eye.
It only displays basic information on the screen, what menu you’re in, etc. As I said in the video, I can’t see the screen either. But it doesn’t matter because everything is read out loud to you.
Probably cost thousands.
$3,859... I'll pass.
