Tactile buttons

Controls you can feel

Ultra has tactile buttons right on the glasses. Navigate, zoom in and out, and change the view by touch, with nothing extra to hold or lose.

Featured story

Life with Ultra

IrisVision has helped thousands of people with low vision across the U.S. and around the world live more fully. Hear their stories in their own words.

“Before, I could only see a small part of my fingers. I saw my whole hand for the first time in 22 years with IrisVision.”

— Amy Dixon

See the world your way

A mode for every moment

Ultra adapts to what you’re doing. Ask Iris to switch modes and the view changes instantly — camera modes for seeing the room, plus Movies, Books, Games, and Photo Gallery for time in the glasses.

Welcome

Your startup screen. A stable, high-contrast image helps you dial in focus and IPD (eye spacing) for the sharpest possible view before you begin.

Scene

The everyday live view. See your real surroundings in natural, vivid color with automatic focus, and zoom in up to 10× on whatever you’re looking at.

Bubble

A magnifying bubble in the center of the Scene view — sharpen a price tag, a face, or a sign while keeping the rest of the scene around it.

Bioptic

A rectangular telescope window. Magnify a distant sign or a face while the rest of the room stays in view — size and place the box so it sits where you need it.

Reading

Ultra-high-contrast text. Start with crisp black-on-white, or switch to inverted, yellow, or green — and use Reading Line to focus on one magnified line at a time.

RP

For tunnel vision. Shrink the whole picture until everything you need fits inside your remaining field of view.

Television

Tuned for screens. Special exposure settings cut backlight glare, and the display won’t time out in the middle of your show.

Outline

For getting around. Ultra traces bold, high-contrast outlines around objects and edges, with adjustable line thickness and sensitivity.

Movies

Free full-length films inside Ultra. Ask Iris to search, then play, pause, and scrub with the buttons on the glasses.

Books

Free audio books, hands-free. Search by title, then play, pause, and skip by voice or the buttons.

Games

Games built for the low vision community. Play from the glasses — no tiny phone screen.

Photo Gallery

Every picture you take, ready when you are. Zoom in on the details that matter to you.

Watch and listen

Movies, books, and YouTube — in the glasses

Low vision shouldn’t mean missing the film, the chapter, or the clip. Ultra brings entertainment into the glasses — search by voice, then sit back.

YouTube

Ask Iris to find and play videos — recipes, news, music, how-tos, or your favorite channel — and watch them full-size inside the glasses.

Movies

Search and watch free full-length films in Ultra. The same simple controls as YouTube: ask Iris, play, pause, and scrub with the buttons on the glasses.

Books

Listen to free audio books hands-free. Search by title, then play, pause, and skip with your voice or the buttons.

Stream TV

Bring your television, computer, or a streaming stick into Ultra with the Vision Cast transmitter — enlarged and clear from your chair.

* Requires the Vision Cast accessory, sold separately.

Designed for low vision

Games you can see — and play

These titles were built for IrisVision, not squeezed in from a phone. Huge high-contrast art, simple stick controls, and Iris talking you through every turn. Open Games on the glasses and pick one.

Dice Roll

Dice Roll

You versus Iris. Roll to build your turn, or hold to bank it. A one busts the turn. First to one hundred wins.

Hangman

Hangman

Ten questions with three choices. Stick up or press Action to pick, stick down for the next. Five misses and the round is over.

Higher or Lower

Higher or Lower

A number is on the card. Guess whether the next one is higher or lower. Thirty seconds — stick up for higher, stick down for lower.

Look back

Every picture you take

Just say “Iris, take a picture.” Then, in Photo Gallery, zoom in on the details that matter to you.

Just say

Iris, take a picture.

Coaching included

A coach, one on one, at home.

Every IrisVision wearable device comes with a suite of helpful accessories, plus custom support from our community of Coaches, offering remote, personalized training in the comfort and security of your home.

  • One session included

    Every pair includes one coaching session.

  • Audio or video, at home

    Meet one on one from the comfort of your home. A sighted helper is highly recommended.

  • Coaches who know the glasses

    They know the device and tailor the session to your individual needs.
