Purpose

To evaluate usability of and satisfaction with OrCam MyEye, a finger-size wearable assistive technology device for visually impaired during real-world tasks.

Methods

Performed real-world tasks such as near and distance reading, money handling, colour identification and face recognition in 2 different scenarios: without using any low vision aid and with OrCam.

n = 100 participants

r 2 = 0.72

Results

r 2 = 0.72

device use explained 72% of the variation in positive impact on daily tasks

n = 100 participants

More results

Multivariate logistic regression showed that age and visual field defect explained 89% of the variation in efficacy of the device.

Nearly half (45%) of the participants indicated a positive rating with the System Usability Scale.

The PGIC rates showed a minimal improvement with a mean score of 4.2 (SD:1.8).

More results

Regression modelling demonstrated a good relation between the questionnaires scores and demographic, disease and visual factors (P < .05).
