INRODUCTION
OrCam My Me is a tiny wearable AI device, that instantly recognizes

colleagues, clients, and Business contacts, tells you when you last saw them and
in what context, by sending a notification to your phone or smartwatch through a
free companion app. Meet the OrCam My Me, a tiny device that you clip on your
T-shirt to help you remember faces. The OrCam My Me features a small
smartphone-like camera and a proprietary facial-recognition algorithm so that you
can associate names with faces. It can be a useful device at business conferences,
or to learn more about how you spend a typical day.

This isn’t OrCam’s first device. The company has been selling the MyEye for a
few years. It’s a wearable device for visually impaired people that you clip to your
glasses. Thanks to its camera and speaker, you can point your finger at some text
and get some audio version of the text near your ear. It can also tell you if there’s
somebody familiar in front of you.

OrCam is expanding beyond this market with a mass-market product. It features


the same technological foundation, but with a different use case. OrCam’s secret
sauce is that it can handle face recognition and optical character recognition on a
tiny device with a small battery — images are not processed in the cloud.

It’s also important to note that the OrCam My Me doesn’t record video or audio.
When the device detects a face, it creates a signature and tries to match it with
existing signatures. While it’s not a spy camera, it still feels a bit awkward when
you realize there’s a camera pointed at you.

When there’s someone in front of you, the device sends a notification to your phone
and smartwatch. You can then enter the name of this person on your phone so that
the next notification shows the name of the person with whom you’re talking.
If somebody gives you a business card, you can also hold it in front of you. The
device then automatically matches the face with the information on the business
card.
2.What is OrCam MyMe
Using the most advanced wearable AI-driven computer vision, the OrCam MyMe
device instantly recognizes faces and tells you who is in front of you – in real
time – by sending a notification to your phone or smartwatch. You can then tag
and organize people in circles such as Work, Friends, and Family.

Balance your life with OrCam MyMe! Beyond individual interactions, the device
keeps you aware of your ongoing social wellness and setting goals to strike the
optimal balance of your most precious resource – your time.

OrCam MyMe automatically scans and syncs a business card or name tag, or
online friends – keeping you focused on the person while ensuring you can get in
touch later. Instantly recall people you met at a meeting or social event –
and never forget a face again. JAMA Ophthalmology: In 2016 JAMA
Ophthalmology conducted a study Involving 12 legally blind participants to
evaluate the usefulness of a portable Artificial vision device (OrCam) for patients
with low vision. The results showed that The OrCam device improved the
patient’s ability to perform tasks simulating those of Daily living, such as reading
a message on an electronic device, a newspaper article Or a menu.
Wills Eye: Wills Eye was a clinical study designed to measure the impact of the
OrCam device on the quality of life of patients with End-stage Glaucoma. The
Conclusion was that OrCam, a novel artificial vision device using a mini-camera
mounted on eyeglasses, allowed legally blind patients with end-stage glaucoma
to read independently, subsequently improving their quality of life.
3.Cutting Edge Tech-Story of ORCAM MyMe
OrCam Technologies Ltd. is the world’s most advanced wearable AI-driven
artificial vision innovator. OrCam harnesses the power of artificial vision by
incorporating pioneering technology into a wearable platform. The company is
already well known for its OrCam MyEye device, which since 2015 has disrupted
the assistive technology space for people who are blind, visually impaired or have
reading difficulties.

The concept for OrCam MyMe was originally announced in 2016, and through
optimization of the hardware, software, and extensive beta testing, OrCam MyMe
is now ready to be entrusted into the hands of the first true users.
OrCam MyMe is designed to run cutting edge deep networks for processing of
visual information yet a fully charged battery holds for a full day of normal use.
Weighing in at only 0.6 ounces/17.2 grams, it includes a unique combination of
hardware and software custom built to optimize the power of the OrCam deep
learning AI algorithms and the 13 megapixel sensor.
4.Who are OrCam MyMe
OrCam MyMe tackles the struggle of identifying social context, as many of us in
particular have a hard time putting a face to a name. In the information age of the
21st century, our brains are no longer able to retain the vast numbers of people
with whom we interact. Encountering hundreds of new people in a single day at
a social event or thousands of online friends is beyond our physical ability. That’s
where OrCam MyMe’s technology comes in – now you can feel confident with
your social interactions, for the future. It’s a companion, a second brain, a third
eye, notifying you of the names of the people you’re supposed to know. Make
sure you’re spending the right amounts of time with each of your circles, set goals
for yourself, and review your interactions going back a day, week, month or
more.
5.OrCam MyMe Campanion App
OrCam MyMe communicates via Bluetooth through a companion app on your
smartphone or smartwatch – they are both separate, but essential, components to
the integral system. The intuitive app provides push notifications to let you know
when someone it recognizes is in front of you, when you last met, where it
happened, and how much time you spent together. Within the app you manage
and tag circles of people and can customize statistical data that is most important
to you, providing you with the tools you need to bring better time management
and balance into your life. The OrCam MyMe app also connects your online
friends, so you can be connected from the first time you use it. You can also tag
a friend, family member, or co-worker that OrCam MyMe does not yet know and
connect them to a contact already in your phone. Overlayed on your calendar, you
can see a daily, weekly, or monthly summary of your activity. Create a close
family group of your parents, siblings, and children. Create an extended family
group of your cousins, aunts, and uncles. Create a group of high-end clients.
Create any kind of group you want, set goals, and optimize your life
balance. Note: While more languages will be developed, starting out, the app will
only be available in English.
6.How was OrCam MyMe Created
In order to achieve the perfect look and feel of OrCam MyMe, we created several
prototypes. We ultimately succeeded in integrating highly advanced AI and facial
recognition technology, along with a 13 megapixel camera, into a tiny device
weighing a bit more than half an ounce. Product development began four years
ago, but the idea for the wearable device was first conceived in 2012. The initial
design mock-ups were finalized in 2014, with the team managing to integrate all
of the electronics, sensors, and battery into the first functioning prototype in
2015.

Since that time, user testing has been extensive, with the design cycling through
multiple iterations until arriving at its now final, market-ready form. OrCam
MyMe has been subjected to extensive reliability, electrical, and environmental
testing since the initial prototype.

Area, software, was mentioned by Assemblyman Hikind, and reported by The
Times
Of Israel is the “AI-driven algorithms” that “reports .. how many people are in a
room.
In addition to reading printed text, it can also aid in “seeing” what is on a
television
Or computer screen. Although OrCam can’t help with handwritten information it
can

11.Privacy and Concerns
OrCam MyMe respects your privacy. It finds faces and computes a signature for
each. The app shows a blurred image as a face thumbnail to help you tag your
acquaintances. No other images are recorded or photos taken and privacy is
guarded by keeping all data stored on the device, and never sent to the cloud.
