I haven't listened to it yet, but it does sound interesting.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I got to try this at a conference in Glasgow a few months back.
The user wears their own pair of glasses with a tiny camera attached to the
arm. There is a wire from that to a device around the size of a TV remote
that the user can have clipped to their belt or something like that.
Take a picture of a face and store it with a name. Then, if you take a
picture of the same face at a later stage the software will recognise the
face and tell you the name that you have associated with it. Take a picture
of a page and its OCR is good at reading out the text.
I thought the device was good, but still clunky. I would give it a while
yet
before considering buying it.
Take care,
Gerry Ellis
If you don't know where you're going,
How will you know when you get there?

Hi Maureen!
Not only have I heard about it but I gathered around a very interested
Orcam
group at the Sight and Sound Exhibition in 2016.
Unfortunately, there were too many other pieces of sight enhancing exhibits
on offer, on the day and not enough time for any one device.
The Orcam appears to be quite innovative and apparently can assist with
every day tasks. Of course, anything that can assist us guys, in whatever
way in overcoming our daily challenges has to be welcomed.
I'm sure that some other folk on this list will get back to you with more
details than I have given you here Maureen .
Enjoy your research into the Orcam and fill in the gaps for the rest of us
when you get more information...Martin K
