The ONYX by Oxsight is a hybrid wearable device great for low vision users on a budget. In this video, Luke Scriven, an Assistive Technology Specialist from the Vision Forward Association, shows you everything you need to know about this lightweight wearable including special settings like the convenient TV / Screen mode for both relaxation and digital work. But stay tuned because Luke will also explain more advanced features for visual enhancement such as High Contrast mode and Edge mode.
This little device is built to travel, and as such it includes a sturdy carrying case, lanyard, and an adjustable headband strap. OxSight has even included a set of power converters so you can take the Onyx with you should your travels carry you abroad.
So how does the Onyx stack up against the competition? There's only one way to find out! Check out the video, and see what we think!

Thank you for your service to my community. I have center vision difficulties and need something that can focus quickly. My job requires me to switch near and far as fast as possible. I use DVR and they will provide the gear if I know it’s what I need. Is there a place near Denver to try these?

@VisionForwardTechConnect 4 месяца назад

Hi, these are no longer being produced unfortunately. Take a look at the IrisVision Live, IrisVision Inspire and Eyedaptic EYE5. If you are interested in trying any of those devices, you will need to contact the manufacturers and see if there is a rep in your area. The eSight GO should also soon be releasing and will be worth looking at.

Hi Luke Iris Vision says they’re delaying OCR they did not tell me by how many months but when it comes out please make a video on it

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

When it comes out, we will

@janeen_marie Год назад

Do these types of devices help people with multiple blind spots in their vision? Is there something that you can recommend trying that pulls all the usable vision mainly in the peripheral and limited central? Thanks so much!

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

This type of device could potentially help but you would need to try it. Generally they work best for people with central vision loss.

@RossMaynardProcessExcellence Год назад

Great clear review. Thank you. We are looking for devices to help our elderly neighbour read and view his iPad. Would you say this device was suitable? We're UK based and pleased that it is a UK manufacturer.

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

Potentially this could help, but there are a number of great accessibility features built into the iPad that might be worth exploring first. You can check out this video on iPhone accessibility as it is the same on the iPad ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qBN_z1ahPYg.html. This second video covers even more accessibility features ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99jYHzLOq6o.html. If you need anything else let me know.

@RossMaynardProcessExcellence Год назад

@@VisionForwardTechConnect Brilliant. Thank you. The magnification features on the iPad seem like they could really help him - and I don't think he is fully aware of them. He still likes to read physical books and newspapers. Are there any hand-held magnification devices that you might suggest? Thank you.

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

@@RossMaynardProcessExcellence I'd suggest that for books, handheld devices aren't ideal. If he wants a handheld, the Humanware Explore 5 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OguivHYaC68.html or Explore 8 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-88XiVn2M_PQ.html are good quality and available in England. They also have a 12 inch version that may be more suitable for books as it has a stand. Otherwise, you would want to look at a larger electronic magnifier, for example the Topaz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UK1CaIqNvFY.html. OCR is also an option, which you can get built into electronic magnification devices, or in a separate device such as the Orcam ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wp5MC18qji0.html

@@VisionForwardTechConnect Fantastic. Thanks for all your help.

@ZAITOMArt Год назад

Thank you for this review! It looks like device that can help be more mobile. Why the device isn't salling on your online store? Is it just a concept or real product? I wan't to buy it but I don't know how. I sent requests on your email and official manufacturer email but didn't get anything back.

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

Hi, thanks for pointing out that this isn't on our online store. It should be! We can get it added, but in the meantime you can contact our store at 414-615-0111 or store@vision-forward.org.

My mom has Macular Degeneration would they work for her . She needs something to be able to do her crafts

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

Hi Julie, yes these types of devices are designed to work with MD, but I would highly recommend your mom tries them before buying if possible.

@harpreetthind Год назад

Iris Vision inspire Luke is definitely a bit better what do you think

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

Inspire is better in some ways, but is also more expensive!

@lisatjhayadi5136 Год назад

What do you think about Eyedaptic Eye 3 ???

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

I tried it briefly and liked it, but haven't spent enough time with one to form a real opinion!

@Cootsie Год назад

Would these be what you recommend for someone with RP? I am in the market for an upgrade to my old esight glasses and they are just too big and bulky. I’m torn on iris oxsight esight4 etc. recommendations?

@Cootsie Год назад

My biggest need is watching my daughter play softball and basketball

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

Hi Bradley, it's hard to say I'm afraid, you would need to try and get a demo for yourself to find out!

@harpreetthind Год назад

If I email you guys Luke will you respond also do you guys know Sam the blind life

@VisionForwardTechConnect Год назад

Yes you can email infocus@vision-forward.org. I don't know Sam's contact details
