NEW IrisVision Inspire Wearable Electronic Magnifier Review!

[@jasonking5840]

This vision impairment that I have is going to be my new normal. This video I just found is giving me hope that I will see my kids grow up. Thank you for this technology may it only get better.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

I'm glad this was able to give you some hope Jason

[@johnmock1008]

Great review and description. We just bought the inspire yesterday July 5th and so excited to receive it. After watching your video I'm less apprehensive so thanks again

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@richardsobetski8879]

I love your video thank you for bringing this technology to us. I’m looking for something very much like this but I want OCR part of the package. I was curious about the phone could you use third-party apps with the glasses. Like money reader or a barcode reader.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

You can use third party apps on the phone, but they won't integrate with the glasses in any way at the moment

[@dineshaggarwal1601]

Thank you so much for the detailed information on live and inspire irisvision glasses.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

You are very welcome!

[@corbatel]

Great informative video, thank you. I'm concerned that the charge only lasts a couple of hours though. Then 3 horse to recharge... . can you use it whilst charging?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Thanks! Yes, you can use it while charging and you can connect it to an external battery for further power when on the go.

[@lv2da3]

Helllo amd thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video What do i need to search to find a place in my area where i could try items like this in person.

[@harpreetthind]

Hi Luke, IRIS version has confirmed to me that they’ll be a software update today for OCR, and all the other features for inspire

[@IgnacioJJ]

Hi. Thanks a lot for your video! My father needs this kind of device and I found IrisVision Inspire could be very helpful. I can see you have other device reviews. Which do you think is the best?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Hi Ignacio, it's hard to say as each individual has their own preference. The only way to know would be for your father to try out some different devices to get a feel for which works best for him.

[@harpreetthind]

Loving my inspire headset it has really helped me a lot

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Glad to hear it!

[@LillieFranklin-q1m]

When you show what the iris sees do we see the jiggy lines like a bad TV reception? What is the cost?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

No, that was a side effect of trying to film the screens. I believe the retail is somewhere around $4000

[@jwestrick95]

My mother has retinitis pigmentosa will this help with her complete lack of peripheral vision?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Hi, these are mainly designed for central vision loss and so may not be appropriate unfortunately.

[@harpreetthind]

What do you mean about representation can’t wait to watch the updated video on how to use OCR on the device

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

That video may be a while, the feature hasn't ben released yet!

[@paula.wherry2244]

In prior videos you had said the Irisvision Live was very good in low light. Did you test the Irisvision Inspire in low light? If so how well does it do in low light?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

I meant to test that and mention it in the video but it completely slipped my mind. The Inspire does have an LED light on the front for low light conditions, but I'm not sure how adaptive the camera is to low light. I'll test it when I'm back in the office next week and let you know.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Okay, I tried out low light performance this morning, and the Inspire is definitely inferior to the Live in this regard. It doesn't brighten then image up in anywhere near the same way.

[@paula.wherry2244]

@@VisionForwardTechConnect Thank you for trying that out.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

@@paula.wherry2244 No problem!

[@harpreetthind]

When will you guys make an updated video with the new features the added to inspire

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

As soon as we are able to!

[@harpreetthind]

I like her on the IRIS Vision inspire device the voice is a male instead of female because on the Iris Vision live device it was only females that’s a nice change

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

It's all about representation!

[@harpreetthind]

Hi Luke IRIS vision live is I don’t like it I like inspired better because of all the new features but do you think the OCR feature will come in the IRIS vision inspire thing

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

I think it will eventually, there's a lot of features that I think they will add to inspire over time.

[@charliepryer6026]

Wearables have all had a problem of viewing at a distance. How does Inspire perform in distance viewing compared to the Irisvision VR headset? Is clarity better at a distance?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Hi Charlie, what issues have you had with distance viewing? I would say the Inspire is worse unfortunately, as it is more pixellated at higher magnifications than the IrisVision Live.

[@charliepryer6026]

@@VisionForwardTechConnect I have experienced problems with all wearables viewing at distances of 20 feet and greater. I am in constant search of a wearable with good clarity at greater distance. I have tried eSight 3, seeBOOST, IrisVision Live headset, Gear VR with Relumino. Thank you for reviewing IrisVision Inspire and for your reply.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

@@charliepryer6026 No worries! The trouble is that these wearables use digital cameras, and inevitably as they zoom in they become pixellated. Give it time and increased resolutions will solve this issue.

[@harpreetthind]

Can you guys let me know what that telescope is? We’re low vision users can drive thanks cause I might take a look at that actually.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

The driving scope is known as a bioptic

[@rosieduarte8992]

Have you tried the Nreal AR glasses? I hear it's kind of like this one but cheaper

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Hi Rosie, I believe those are consumer AR glasses and don't have any functionality specifically for people with vision loss.

[@rosieduarte8992]

@@VisionForwardTechConnect OK thanks I'm legally blind and I have been trying to look for an affordable option of some type of lens to help me watch TV or Be able to read labels at the stores etc and this seemed to have been the cheapest option since most of those ones for visually impaired like the E sights And those other goggles are so darn expensive

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

@@rosieduarte8992 Yes they are very expensive, it's really unfortunate. Some companies (such as IrisVision) do have payment plan option so that's at least something

[@miltcharlton2645]

Can you wear Inspire over prescription glasses?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

It's not explicitly stated that you can, but I have worn it over mine and it was fine

[@harpreetthind]

Thanks for making this video Luke can you do an updated one for 2022 with inspire I’m getting mine next week so I want more information about it and you’re the best creator to make that information for my device cause I wanna get the most out of it thanks buddy

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Sorry Harpreet, I don't have enough time to do it right now! Hope you enjoy your device

[@harpreetthind]

Can you make an updated video for IRIS inspire 2022 edition and let me know when it’s available in Canada and want to update the information Luke thinks because right now on the website it says inspire is only available in the US

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Hi Harpreet, you're better off asking IrisVision themselves to let you know when the device is available in Canada.

[@Lijrobert]

What's your opinion compared to esight 4?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

I prefer this, but it's really a personal choice. The only way to tell is to try for yourself, easier said than done though I know!

[@harpreetthind]

The company said after the one year warranty there an offer extended warranty for the device so he’s not yet

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Nice!

[@cfoote416]

Thank you very much.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

You are quite welcome :-)

[@jasonvichinsky1458]

How many megapixels is the camera?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

That's a great question - I don't see that information on the IrisVision website, you might want to reach out to them at [e-mail]

Hello Jason Vichinsky, The camera is 13 megapixels!

like all the rest when you say disabled the price goes out of sight ,i would love to get something to help mr but its out of the question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@liamrose9754]

this "device" ain't that great, certainly not $3995 worth of great, you can get that smartphone for as little as $700 even less if it's on contract, if we were able to just by the headset and use our own phones and download software it'd be way more affordable and accessible to more people who need them instead of trying to profiteer off of the disadvantaged who are more likely not to be able to pay the asking price

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

good feedback, you should give it to the manufacturer IrisVision at [e-mail]

[@johnbond8442]

I've had first hand experience of IrisVision Inspire and the company's awful after-ssales customer service. I bought it, after being told I'd get a 30 day trial and no quibble return for a refund. I had the item approx 48 hours and returned it. The device itself did not help me at all, I'm severely sight impaired (RP) and it was a hinderance, not a help. It instantly magnifies whatever you look at, and the display is very grainy, not clear. It does have diopter adjustment, but fine tuning that made no difference at all. I'm 99% sure the device I received had been previously returned and refurbished too, the way the item was packaged was a dead giveaway. After I returned the item to irisVision, at a cost of $205usd (Inc. insurance cover), I waited for IrisVision to acknowledge receipt. And I waited. No response for weeks. So, I checked the tracking, it had been delivered 2 weeks prior. I included all my invoices/covering letter explaining the return etc and nothing. I emailed and no reply again. I called my bank for advice and they said open a dispute for refund not received so I did. IrisVision contacted me to say they had won the dispute, but never contacted me prior to say thank you for returning the item etc. They tried to convince me to take a 70% refund, but the bank advised I ignore them and cease communication. I'm still fighting to get my money back and waiting for the bank to complete their investigation. IrisVision challenged the chargeback and instead of issuing a refund, doing the right thing, they have chosen to delay me even more. IrisVision clearly do not honour the 30-day trial/return/refund policy. So Buyer Beware!!! And or pay for your device using Credit Card and if you have problems, go for a section 75 refund under the consumer credit act. The bank will refund you on the day you return the goods. IrisVision products are bad, but their after sales customer service is 100x worse. I run my own business, and I would never treat my customers the way they've treated me.
