How does OrCam MyEye 2 PRO Work?
The lightweight device attaches magnetically to any pair of eyeglasses. With a quick tap, pointing gesture, or voice command, an advanced optical sensor captures an image and uses artificial intelligence to communicate information audibly. Audio is heard through a tiny speaker resting above the user’s ear or through a connected Bluetooth device, like Bluetooth earbuds.

Recognize Faces
More than just a reader, OrCam MyEye recognizes and identifies faces seamlessly with real-time facial recognition.
Identify Products
OrCam provides an independent shopping experience by identifying products. Check out this video of product identification in action. Simply scan a product barcode and identify it using the pre-loaded database or your own pre-programmed product list. With the latest software update (version 9.15), OrCam’s pre-loaded list of recognizable barcodes has been refreshed from the world.openfoodfacts.org database.
Recognize Currency
Enjoy shopping independently, from browsing the aisles to checking out. Use OrCam to recognize and handle currency with confidence. OrCam’s latest software update (version 9.15) enhances the performance of the money note recognition feature and expands the database of supported currencies.
Distinguish Colors
Use OrCam’s color identification feature to distinguish colors, such as selecting an outfit or shoes to wear.
Check the Time
Just hold your wrist up as if checking your watch and OrCam will tell you what time it is.
Get to Know Your Surroundings
MyEye PRO also includes a breakthrough new feature that helps orient users to their surroundings, announcing and providing directions toward objects that are between 6 and 30 feet away. Just ask, “What is in front of me?” Currently the MyEye PRO can identify doors, chairs, cups, ascending stairs, screens (TV, computer and mobile devices), and tables. Here is a video overview of the OrCam MyEye PRO’s orientation feature.
(Please note that this feature is in beta / testing stage and is currently in development based on user feedback. While it helps you quickly locate and identify common objects, it is not an obstacle detector and is not indented to replace a guide dog or cane.)
