A new device developed by OrCam enables visually impaired people to vote without the use of an escort. The technology, called MyEye, uses an AI-based camera system which reads out to users what they are seeing when they point to text on any surface. The devices, which are fitted to the frame of a pair of glasses, were piloted at one polling booths during last week's Israeli elections. The technology has already been used to help individuals read other forms of text, including newspapers, books and menus.
