This was a wonderful review, so careful, so balanced. It is my first experience into the low vision world, first time I had to look for help for an aging mother whose macular degeneration is starting to affect daily life. I am grateful for the thought you put into this comparison, and want you to know you did some good to the world today. Thank you.
This is an excellent comparison between these two products. Thank you for taking the time to do this, and for your thoroughness. I do have the Orcam MyEye Pro. I would not have purchased the device myself given the extremely high price tag, but have to say I use it all the time and it has significantly improved my ability to function more independently in public and in private. I would have a hard time giving it up now. Let’s hope for that Orcam, Envision baby to come along some day.
Thank you! I agree Orcam is the superior device in terms of functionality so I'm glad to hear it's making such a big impact on your life. That will be the day I drop 5 grand! haha
You did a great job comparing the two devices. Yes, I am waiting for that baby also! By the way, orcam my eye pro is currently $3700 on Amazon, but if you need customer support, youre going to be waiting a long time.
Thanks! It was a fun video to shoot. OHH that's a great price. I knew they dropped it for summer. Do you know if it's the my eye pro 2? or the original?
I would not prefer both because of the very high price of the products& less accuracy of the software . In my opinion my phone would do a better job for me as I have a somewhat decent vision to use my phone indoors . But I loved the AI in it's initial stages hope it will improve in the future and the price could be reasonable then I might give it a thought. Keep up the good work And congratulation for 2 k subs many more achievement waiting to be unlocked
Really useful review. I have just been contacted by my dad as he has seen adverts for the Orcam and wanted me to do some research for him. He is in his 90s and blind which means his world is full of challenges and danger. From the advert the Orcam sounded like it would make him like Commander Laforge from Startrek. The reality is, sadly, a few years away yet. You can see the direction and the future but it isn't here in 2023. Still, at least I know the truth now.
this was one of the best review videos I’ve seen on these products! You did an excellent job! You saved me a bunch of books, as I was just considering buying the or cam, gonna wait on the gender party now. Keep up the great work, happy to be a subscriber
Thanks Scott! I do try to be fair and balanced and not sugar coat tech as I see a lot of creators do. I believe that there is amazing benefit to a lot of adaptive equipment, but it should be balanced with any potential flaws or drawbacks, of which, all products have many!
You are right, I wish OrCam had video calling and Google glass was faster, I have an my eye pro, I like it’ but it would be even better if The two make a baby, I would up grade , thank’s for the vid, stay awesome.
With AI advancing so much even with open ai 4o being able to see and describe things it sees and translating other languages ect i look forward to seeing what ai they add to these type of glasses in the future.
Thank you for your comparison of Orcam Eye Pro and Envision. I believe you mentioned Microsoft Seeing AI as an additional product too. I will try to check that out too. Contacting one's local blind organization was welcome comment too. Thank you for your input.
Another excellent review. And yeah, it got me to back off of the Envision product just yet. Orcam looks excellent but is also needs development (particularly, as you mentioned, as to battery life). Neither are worth the cost yet. Soon perhaps. Right, Seeing AI looks like the way to go for the time being. Thanks again for an honest detailed appraisal.
@@UnsightlyOpinions Exactly. I just communicated with Rayban Meta -- they work only with the Meta app. Hopefully their connectivity to SeeingAI and others will come soon.
Congratulations for this great research and examples, this was so helpful. We are just starting in this techonology aides four our son and trying to make a decision. What´s the Microsofot option that you mentioned?
Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful! It can be a very expensive and complicated decision depending on what it will be used for. Microsoft Seeing AI is a free app that you can download to iPhone or Android and it does many of the same things as these glasses. There's also Google Lookout for Android which is also free. Here's a link to a video I made on Seeing AI in case you were interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RH8FNP5TanI.html
In my opinion, both items are way overpriced, but there’s really no comparison between the two cents the Envision Glasses can connect you to an Aira Agent. To be a fair comparison, you would have to ask The or cam to walk you across a busy intersection or call you an Uber. 16:31
The only question becomes how much privacy do you have with this technology because. You may be reading a bill or other financial papers with a lot of important personal information that would allow someone to take on your identity or hack you or bankrupt you or sell your data to marketing data harvesters
Ultimately I think that depends on your use case. It'll be a different answer for everyone. Some would prefer one device over another, some would prefer a free app. It's entirely person dependent.
It is unfortunate for sure. I do feel for what they were offering the tech was too expensive and behind the curve for what’s available for free now in terms of accessibility. I do wish that there was a wearable that did a lot of the things orcam did for a fraction of the cost. Maybe they know something about upcoming wearables from big tech we don’t.
Yes, I believe each device reads in several langue's. You can check it out on their respective websites depending on which device you are more interested in. :)
