Eyedaptic announced the launch of its newest generation of smart glasses, the EYE7, alongside the Eyedaptic Visual Assistant Family. The platform is enabled with Ivy, an interactive visual assistant, and the next-generation assistant, Eva, is now being offered through an early access beta program.

According to the company, EYE7 and the Visual Assistant Family form the only integrated wearable solution that combines real-time vision enhancement with AI visual assistance in a single platform, enabling users to better see, understand, and interact with their environment. The AI visual assistants on the Eyedaptic platform are designed to be upgraded remotely through software updates, reportedly allowing new capabilities and improvements to be delivered seamlessly without requiring new hardware.

“With the EYE7 Smart Glasses and its visual assistant Ivy, we’re delivering the market’s most advanced assistive vision platform available today,” said Jay Cormier, CEO and founder of Eyedaptic. “While Ivy delivers powerful, web-connected intelligence right out of the gate, our next-generation visual assistant Eva is currently in early access beta, allowing users to experience and help shape the foundation of our visual assistant roadmap.”

According to the company, the EYE7 delivers advanced, real-time visual enhancement in an ultralightweight, wearable form factor, including ergonomic design for extended daily wear, visual acuity and contrast enhancement optimized for vision impairments, and visual modes tailored to individual needs with easy-to-use intuitive controls.

The Eyedaptic Visual Assistant Family reportedly adds a new layer of intelligence to vision enhancement, with assistants designed to address different needs and use cases. According to company, in addition to reading text and signage, identifying objects, and visual interpretation, Ivy leverages web-based search and external knowledge sources to deliver richer, more informative assistance. This reportedly enables deeper explanations, broader context, and more accurate responses to complex, open-ended questions about what users are seeing. Eva, available through Eyedaptic’s early access beta program, provides core AI visual assistance optimized for fast, reliable performance, says the company. Eva reportedly focuses on real-time image and conversational interactions along with hands-free, voice-driven glasses control, while serving as a testing ground for future enhancements.

The EYE7, Ivy, and Eva (early access beta program) are now available for eye care practices and Eyedaptic users. Current practices or users should contact support@eyedaptic.com, and new eye care practices can inquire at info@eyedaptic.com or with their local sales representative.
