FYI. I saw this today when someone shared it in my Facebook feed, and it looks legitimate, as it also has a quote from OrCam. It is not entirely surprising, although I believe they were just exhibiting at the blindness conventions earlier this month. What a whirlwind the last few days have been in the blindness assistive technology world with the AppleVis closure and now this as well. OrCam to halt developing visual aid devices - Globes https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-orcam-to-halt-developing-visual-aid-devices-1001485309 #blind #lowvision #visuallyimpaired
@mariakristic @MichiganPal If this is true I’m not really shocked. It was very hit and miss from the usability side. It was also expensive.
@mariakristic @DavidGoldfield It’s unfortunate, but I was nervous about them since seeing AI came out.
@serrebi @mariakristic @DavidGoldfield Tbf I never liked them given how costly their so-called revolutionary hardware was...
@mariakristic @pixelate I'm not surprised. Their devices were so expensive, and there's just too much competition out there. I think they were relying too heavily on the whole you don't need internet connectivity to make ours work, and it, well, failed.
@RandomFire @pixelate I think they actually realized at the end that the offline only strategy was not working because they were trying to introduce a version 3 of some of their products which had the integration with some AI service if I remember correctly from some promotional email which I received from them.
@Tamasg @mariakristic I knew it was coming. Tested them on first try and went fine, but then it didn't convinced me.
