eSight, the makers of the eSight electronic glasses, is permanently dropping the pricing of its eSight glasses from $10,000 USD to $5,950 USD.
The eSight glasses are specifically designed for users with low vision to the point of being legally blind, without hindering mobility. The 40 per cent price drop will make them accessible to even more people.
The glasses work similar to augmented reality (AR) glasses. A small camera at the front of the glass captures the scene, and an onboard computer enhances the image in real-time and delivers a stream to two monitors inside the glasses. Unlike VR/AR headsets, however, the eSight electronic glasses don’t cover the wearer’s peripheral vision.
