WeVision Smart Glasses

WeVoice Glasses (只提供英文版本)

WeVoice Glasses is an upgrade product of the WeVoice Plus App. It can provide more advanced visual assistance for visually impaired people and elderlies with weak eyesight. Although video calls can be made through the app solely, due to their disabilities, visually impaired people may not be able to point their mobile phones accurately at objects and their surroundings. To better cater for the needs of our users, WeVoice Plus partners with WeVoice Glasses, the first-ever smart glasses developed by us to solve the above problem directly. Users can wear the WeVoice Glasses like normal eyeglasses. When they face difficult situations, they can press the "Glasses" button on WeVoice Plus. Available volunteers can choose to answer the call and the first volunteer who takes the call will be connected to the user. When they are having visual communication, with Wi-fi and Bluetooth technology, instant video and audio signals can be transmitted through the glasses’ camera to the app, which enables volunteers to have a more accurate view of users’ surroundings. Furthermore, with the use of bone conduction BT headphone and microphone installed on WeVoice Glasses, the voice quality will be improved by a great extent and thus volunteers can provide more appropriate audio assistance. In this way, WeVoice Glasses can connect visually impaired people more closely to society and achieve social integration more effectively.
