Ziv Aviram

A camera that reads aloud. Aviram co-founded OrCam in Jerusalem in 2010 with Amnon Shashua, his Mobileye partner, applying their computer vision work to the MyEye, a small camera clipped to glasses that reads printed text, recognises faces and identifies products and banknotes for blind and partially sighted users, working offline. Its price put it out of reach for many without funding schemes.
