My initial thoughts on hearing about the device were, 'great it will enable me to read books and newspapers again as physical pages,'
For me, the Orcam was useful for that. It is a great thing and I can see how useful it is if a person has no useful sight. However, I have RP with central vision.My hobby/passion is art and obviously the camera can't help with images. Ditto, playing the ukulele reading music. I used to like to read in bed and the camera needed more light than I had, so didn't really work in dim lighting.
I found the wiring a little annoying as it was often in the way of movement. I understand the reasons for wiring but wireless would be easier to wear.
This sounds quite negative and I don't mean it to be. The idea is wonderful and, I think further down the line of sight loss I would certainly consider an Orcam. It did help with reading newspaper print and I found it quite relaxing to be read to rather than having to struggle making out words with magnifiers. The control button was easy to use and well thought out.
All in all a great idea and in the future, with some modifications I would want one.
