Join the Low Vision Resource Group as we host Stacey Crown, who will be demonstrating the OrCam MyEye device.

The OrCam MyEye device can read text, barcodes, recognize faces, identify products, money notes, colors, and can even tell the user the time and date. It does this by conveying visual information audibly. Other low or no cost ways of accessing visual information using cell phone apps will also be presented. After the demonstration, time is built into the event schedule for folks to try out the device.

Please register by calling Kym at 703-746-1760. Refreshments will be provided.
