We’re excited to introduce Smart Detection in this release, bringing even more functionality to your Envision Glasses.
Smart Detection [2024 pass users only]: Replacing the old Layout Detection, Smart Detection enhances document reading by adding alt-text descriptions for visuals like images, graphs, charts, and tables. For tables, it identifies rows and columns to ensure a clear understanding of the data and provides a brief summary of the content whenever encountered.
Smart Detection also maintains the correct reading order for columns and detects headings, giving you much richer context when reading textbooks, magazines, or reports. To enable Smart Detection, simply activate it in the context menu of the Scan Text feature.
In this release, we’ve made several improvements to enhance your experience with the Envision Glasses:

We’re excited to announce the latest software update for Envision Glasses, version 2.1.0! This update introduces three new features designed to enhance your experience and make your life even easier: Ask Envision, Wi-Fi Wizard, and Scan Wi-Fi QR Code:
The new 'Ask Envision' feature allows customers to ask questions about a piece of text or document they have just scanned, such as a menu card, electricity bill, or cooking instructions.
For example, after scanning a menu, you could ask Envision, 'What are the vegetarian options available?' and receive a helpful response. This feature is powered by GPT-4 by OpenAI, one of the most advanced language models in the world, to understand and answer natural language questions.
To use 'Ask Envision', access the text 'Reader' after scanning your document with the Scan Text feature. Press and hold the 'Hinge Button' on your Envision Glasses until you hear a chime, then ask your question and wait for the virtual assistant to answer.
Currently, voice prompts are only supported in English, however, the 'Ask Envision' output can be in any of the languages supported by Envision Glasses.
Please note that since this feature uses ChatGPT, it may occasionally produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts. For more detailed instructions and examples, check out the video tutorial below.
The Wi-Fi Wizard provides step-by-step guidance to help you connect your Envision Glasses to the internet, whether it’s an iPhone hotspot, an Android hotspot, or a regular router.
This feature aims to make it easier for new and existing users to stay connected anywhere, anytime. To access the Wi-Fi Wizard, navigate to the sub-menu Wi-Fi, in the Settings menu or the sub-menu Trainings, in the Help menu, and perform a one-finger double tap to start the guide. Simply follow the instructions to get connected.
Based on user feedback, we’ve integrated Wi-Fi QR Codes into the existing Scan QR Code feature. Now, if your router has a QR Code or you plan to buy one with a QR Code, you can easily connect your Envision Glasses to the router by opening the Scan QR Code feature and pointing the camera at the QR Code.
Your Envision Glasses will automatically and immediately connect to the router, making the process seamless and hassle-free.
In addition to these new features, we’ve made numerous under-the-hood changes and performance improvements to provide you with an even better experience. We’re grateful for your continued support, and we can’t wait to share more exciting updates with you in the future. Happy Envisioning!

They should both now perform optimally. There are more minor fixes and improvements that make for a smoother experience of using Envision Glasses. We hope this marks the beginning of many more great updates we have in the pipeline for the year 2023!
There 3 exciting elements in this updates!
With this new version, we are introducing one of the most requested additions to Envision Glasses – Voice Commands!
You can now press and hold the Hinge Button on the Envision Glasses and simply speak which function you would like it open, and voila, it just opens. Sounds too good to be true? Try it for yourself!
Currently, Envision Glasses will be able to recognise the following commands (only English for now):
Here's a quick introductory video about it:
We will continue to add more features and languages to Voice Commands and improve its ability to understand what you need. We eagerly look forward to your feedback on how you would like to see this feature evolve in the future! Until then, your voice is our command.
After months of research, development testing and refinement, Envision team is proud to announce our latest software updates, 1.6.0. Here's everything you need to know about the new update:
This update is significantly bigger in size than the updates that you're used to and that's because we are packing some significant firmware changes in this. This greatly boosts the performance and battery life. This allows us to have our AI do a lot more on the small processors of the glasses. Watch this video as Maria from Envision, given you an overview of how this update works:
One of the great feature this update brings is called Smart Guidance. It's a simple, yet effective way, to make sure you capture your complete document while using the Scan Text feature. Developing this feature on smartglasses was no easy task, but our team of engineers and group of beta testers channeled their energies to make this a reality.
To get this feature to work, go to Scan Text and do a two-finger double tap to make sure that Smart Guidance is Enabled. Then when you double tap on Scan Text, you will hear a voice that will offer you simple instructions like "Move document left" or "Move document down". Once the entire document is in frame, it will automatically capture a picture for you.
In addition to making sure the entire document is captured, this method also ensures that only the text in the document in your hand is read, ignoring any text that might be in the backgroud. So no more picking up stray texts from your surroundings.
Here's Ferkan from Envision, explaining this in a quick video:
The other great addition to this feature is Layout Detection, which analyses the text captures and identifies elements such as columns, paragraphs and headers. This makes it easier to read text that appears in columns (like those in magazines or newspapers) in the correct reading order. It will also speak out Headings as 'Headings' so you know. Layout Detection can be enabled or disabled from the context menu (two-finger-single-tap) of Scan Text.
Going forward, we will also start identifying elements in a document, to make sure you read everything the way you were supposed to.
Here's Ferkan from Envision, with a quick explainer video about Layot Detection.
Those are all the major development with this update. There are several under the hood improvments that ensures that your Envision experience stays buttery smooth. We would love for you to play around with these new features and share your experiences with us. Happy Envisioning
Reading text instantly just got a whole lot better!
The offline version of our instant text just received a major upgrade. It is now much more accurate and faster than ever before, making it the best companion to have for all the short pieces of text you wish to read on the go!
