Envision is a technology company that develops resources to make life easier for all those people who have some type of visual impairment problem. Among its product portfolio is its own smart glasses with Artificial Intelligence, based on the business model of Google’s smart glasses, the well-known Google Glass, which until now has helped people to recognize the environment in which they move.

In this way, the device itself is responsible for processing what it sees on camera through artificial intelligence and describes it to people through audiowhich will be played on the device’s built-in speakers.

Artificial Intelligence helping people to be more independent

This has helped recognize people, objects, even the physical environment in which they are foundbut also also in the reading and translation of texts available in any medium, whether on paper, in packing boxes, among others, whether typed or handwrittenwith the idea of ​​making people with visual disabilities more independent.

In a complementary way, and for those aspects where Artificial Intelligence is not capable of recognizing what is seen through the cameras, it has a function that allows a human to recognize the elements through a video call to transmit it to the person himself.

The device itself was launched on the market in 2020 to help visually impaired people. To all the functions that have been coming over time now come new ones through a new update.

In this sense, Envision points out that its smart glasses will soon have improved optical character recognition (OCR), better text recognition with contextual intelligence, support for new languages, and even also opens to third-party app integration.
