This glossary contains the definitions of terms that are used throughout this guide.
Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad term used to describe
intelligence by machines. Envision mainly uses its subcategory, Computer Vision.
Body: The body is the main part of the Envision Glasses and houses the camera,
internals, and speakers. The body is worn as the right arm of the Envision Glasses.
Computer Vision: A subcategory of Artificial Intelligence that deals with how
machines can gain an understanding from digital images or videos. At Envision, we
use computer vision to turn text and images into speech. This allows us to describe
images to you, without the need of another person.
Envision Ally: An Ally is a person with the Envision Ally app that you (the
Envisioner) can add as a contact for the call option on the Envision Glasses. The ally,
who could be a friend or family member, downloads the Envision Ally app on their
phone and accepts your invitation. Afterwards, you will be able to call the Ally, who
will see what you are seeing through the camera of the Envision Glasses.
Envisioner: The term Envisioner refers to the user of the Envision Glasses. Allies
are able to receive calls from Envisioners that they accepted in the Envision Ally
app.
Envision Glasses: The Google Glass 2 smart glasses combined with Envision’s
AI-powered software.
Gestures Training: This is the training that is given when you pair your Envision
Glasses with the Envision app for the first time. In this Gesture Training you will be
guided through all the gestures on the device. Additionally, this ‘Gesture Training’
can be accessed from the ‘Help’ category at any time.
