User test
Lumyeye tested by Luca, 32, RP.
Luca lives with retinitis pigmentosa. He has been totally blind for 5 years. He tested Lumyeye Pro for 30 days, every single day. Here is his honest review.
Day 1 — onboarding
"60 seconds of voice tutorial and I was set. No menu, no friction. The voice is clear and Apple-grade. VoiceOver was respected at every step."
Week 1 — reading mail
"I had stacks of unopened mail. In two evenings, Lumyeye read everything. I separated the urgent from the junk. I felt independent again."
Week 2 — Vision Live in transit
"Subway, airport, busy sidewalks. I stream and ask: 'Is the door open?', 'Where is the trash bin?'. It works 95% of the time. The 5% — heavy traffic or echo — Lumyeye says 'I am not sure'. Honest is best."
Week 3 — cooking
"I cooked again. Identifying cans and spices used to take hours; now it's seconds. I rediscovered jars I'd forgotten I had."
Week 4 — limits
"Handwriting is still hard for Lumyeye — like every AI. Same for very small print under bad light. But these are the limits of physics, not of design."
Overall verdict
"Lumyeye Pro replaces 4 apps I used to juggle. The Vision Live is the killer feature. I cancelled my OrCam wish list."
Score: 9.5 / 10
Half a point off for the still-pending Ray-Ban Meta integration.
