About
Envision, a Dutch company founded in 2017, developed the Envision Glasses as a fully wearable alternative to smartphone-based visual assistance, offering a complete AI feature suite without requiring users to hold up a phone. Two editions are available: Home and Professional.
What It Does
Envision Glasses instantly read printed text (including handwriting), describe scenes, detect light and colours, recognise familiar faces, scan barcodes, identify cash, and answer questions via the Ask Envision conversational AI feature. Features are activated by voice command or by tapping the touchpad on the glasses frame. Users can also initiate hands-free video calls to a sighted companion or to an Aira agent for live human guidance.
Who It Helps
Envision Glasses are designed for blind and low vision adults who want a discreet, hands-free tool for independent living, work, and travel. They are popular among users who need extended sessions of visual access throughout a workday without the fatigue of holding a smartphone.
