OrCam MyEye Demonstration

The OrCam MyEye is a portable device that can be mounted onto a pair of glasses allowing visually impaired people to understand text and identify objects and individuals.
The MyEye has 3 main functions:

Product Recognition
Can identify new products and recognise previously entered products such as money notes and bank cards.
