Low Vision
Wearable Handsfree Assistance
Hands-free Assistance for people with Low Vision
Moving through the city with low vision should feel like your own choice, not a leap of faith. FamilyCam is a wearable camera and visual assistance app that puts help one press away, so you can go out with confidence and ask for support only when you need it.
Help when you want it, how you want it
Most of the time, you know exactly where you are going. But sometimes something is unclear: a sign, a crossing, a change in the street. With FamilyCam, one press gives you two ways to get help:
- Ask the EMVI app to describe what is in front of you
- Ask a trusted contact to help, so they can see what you see and guide you
Your hands stay free, and there is no need to search through a touchscreen.
Independence without depending on strangers
Many people with low vision have learned to rely on the kindness of strangers. FamilyCam offers another option. You choose who you ask, and you decide when. Your contact person becomes your extra pair of eyes, whether you are commuting, exploring a new neighbourhood or finding your way to an appointment.
Simple by design
FamilyCam is worn on you and works with a single button. It is designed to be easy to find by touch and easy to use on the move, so help never depends on how well you can see a screen.
“With FamilyCam, I move through the city with more confidence. With one press, I can ask the App to give a description or I can ask a contact person to help me if something’s unclear. It gives me the certainty that I can always ask for help, and not being dependent on the kindness of strangers.”
