Is ARx Right for Me?

ARx is designed for individuals with low vision or sight loss who seek greater independence in their daily lives. If you're familiar with apps like Microsoft Seeing AI, Aira, or Google Lookout but find it inconvenient to constantly hold or wave your smartphone to access visual information, ARx may be the solution you've been looking for.

For Those Upgrading Their Accessibility Toolset

ARx is right for you if:

  • You use a smartphone (iOS or Android) and rely on apps for visual assistance.
  • You want to continue using your favorite accessibility apps, but hands-free, without needing to handle your phone.
  • You find it challenging to scan your surroundings with a smartphone in hand.
  • You are looking for a more natural and comfortable way to receive real-time descriptions of your environment.

With ARx, you can keep your phone in your pocket or bag while still enjoying continuous, real-time AI-generated descriptions of your surroundings, delivered through discreet bone-conduction speakers.

For People on the Move

ARx is right for you if:

You commute to work, university, or school and need real-time descriptions of your surroundings while keeping your hands free.

You use a white cane or guide dog, making it difficult to manage a smartphone in your hand.

You’re on public transport and prefer a more discreet option that doesn’t make you stand out.

You want deeper, more granular descriptions of your environment, allowing you to better understand the world around you.

You seek improved performance in daily tasks, such as reading signs, recognizing objects, or navigating through unfamiliar places, all without needing to hold your phone.
