Face Recognition

Face Recognition runs automatically in the background — you don’t need to say a command. When VISION sees someone you’ve registered, it announces them. If multiple familiar people are in view at once, it announces all of them.

How It Works (In Simple Terms)

1. A dedicated camera on your glasses watches for faces
2. When a face is detected, VISION checks it against your registered list
3. If it’s a match, VISION announces the person’s name
4. If several familiar people are in view at the same time, each one is announced

Example

(two friends walk up and stand next to each other)

VISION: “I see Alex.”

VISION: “I see Sam.”

If there are people in view you haven’t registered, VISION simply ignores them and stays silent.

Multi-Face Detection

Unlike simple recognition systems, VISION is designed to handle real-world group situations:

• Multiple faces at once — family dinners, meetings, gatherings
• Faces at different angles — looking toward you, slightly sideways, or in partial view
• Near and far — the person in front of you and the person behind them can both be announced
• No-repeat cooldown — once someone is announced, VISION won’t repeat their name for a short while even if they stay in view, so it doesn’t get noisy

Registering Faces

Familiar faces are registered through the VISION mobile app:

1. Open the app and go to Familiar Faces
2. Tap Add New Face
3. Take a clear photo of the person’s face
4. Enter their name
5. Save — the new face syncs to your glasses automatically

No need to restart the glasses. Within moments, the system can recognize them.

Privacy

• Recognition happens using a secure mathematical representation of each face, not raw images
• Only people you register can be recognized — strangers are never announced
• You control who is in your list and can remove anyone at any time
• Detections are logged to your app so you can see a timeline of who you’ve encountered — only you and your linked caretakers can see this
