Introducing OrCam’s ‘Hey OrCam’ feature to help those who are blind or have vision impairment to read
Quantum RLV will present a free sight support event in Noosa on 12th July.
Those who may be affected by macular disease, glaucoma, stroke, blindness, or any condition which affects their vision, as well as those with reading and learning challenges, are welcome. Family and carers are also very welcome, as are health care professionals and their clients.
“Low vision is a term used to describe a reduced quality of vision experienced by an individual, where spectacles and contact lenses are no longer enough. Although low vision is an everyday term, the reality is that every individual is unique and needs a tailored solution to help them retain their independence and function well in their everyday life” says Low Vision Consultant Nick Powell.
On the day, Quantum whose focus is exclusively assistive technology, will offer an opportunity to discuss individuals’ specific low vision issues and advise what technology options are available. Attendees will have an opportunity to road test a range of equipment including the latest text to speech wearable OrCam technology with the new ‘Hey OrCam’ feature, just been released in Australia.
