OrCam Technologies (Noorcam)

OrCam Technologies has developed a wearable assistive technology device for people who are blind, visually impaired, or have reading or other disabilities. OrCam's MyEye communicates visual information by utilizing a small, intuitive smart camera that is mounted on the wearer's eyeglass frames and connects to a pocket-sized computer. MyEye instantly and discreetly reads any text printed on any surface through a tiny speaker positioned toward the user's ear. The device can also recognize faces and identify products and currency. The company is currently developing MyMe, a thumb-sized device designed to clip on a shirt or hang from a dress like a pendant. MyMe's facial recognition technology can match the face it sees with images from the wearer's Facebook or contact list and then display that data on a paired device such as a smartphone or Apple Watch. Its battery lasts a full day on a charge. The company has also developed OrCam Hear, an AI-driven wearable assistive technology device for people with hearing impairment. The device was named "Best of Innovation" for accessibility by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) at the CES 2020 Innovation Awards.
