It all started with moments of life shared with Arlette, 91 years old. I saw with my own eyes the progressive isolation caused by vision loss.
"I saw Arlette taking shrimps out of the freezer thinking they were carrots. I saw the anguish of dropping a tangerine on the floor without being able to find it."
For a month, I tested every existing device. The verdict was clear:
-
Classic mobile apps
Soulless robotic voices, visual interfaces impossible to use without sight, and mandatory subscriptions before even testing. -
Reading machines (OCR)
Bulky objects that clutter the kitchen, slow, and no possibility to "chat" with the document. -
Connected glasses (Hardware)
A β¬1500 investment obsolete in 4 years, with paid updates.
Lumyeye is this promise: cutting-edge technology that fades away to leave room only for voice, exchange, and regained freedom.
