eSight is a wearable medical device designed to improve the functional vision of those living with low vision or legal blindness. The device was developed by Canadian-based company eSight Corp. HistoryeSight was founded in 2006 by Conrad Lewis, a Canadian electrical engineer with two legally blind sisters. His motivation was to build a device that would enable his sisters to see, be able to work and independently perform virtually all activities of daily living (ADLs).[1][2] The first generation of the device, eSight 1, was released in October 2013. The second generation, eSight 2, was released in May 2015 and contained several hardware upgrades, including HD OLED screens, enhanced color and screen resolution and a longer battery life.[3] The current generation, eSight 3, was released in February 2017.[4][5][6] In May 2017, Time magazine included eSight on its list of “The Best Tech of 2017 So Far.”[7] Buzzfeed also included it in its list of the “6 Inventions Changing British People’s Lives In 2017.”[8] SpecificationseSight includes two HD color displays, one in front of each eye, with prescription lenses tailored to the user’s particular prescription. The displays integrate dual independent and high contrast OLED screens, 1024x768 resolution and a 37.5 degree field-of-view. The camera on the front of the device captures video in Ultra HD at 21.5 MP and allows for up to 24x zoom. eSight’s user interface also features HDMI and USB inputs, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and removable SD cards.[4][5][6] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Andrews|first1=Malika|title=Glasses from eSight help legally blind Colts fan see game for first time|url=https://www.si.com/tech-media/2017/01/05/esight-glasses-legally-blind-indianapolis-colts-fan|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=Sports Illustrated|date=5 January 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=eSight: helping the legally blind see|url=https://www.investinontario.com/success-stories/esight-helping-legally-blind-see|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=InvestinOntario|date=20 June 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Wearable technology expands mobility for visually impaired|url=http://ophthalmologytimes.modernmedicine.com/ophthalmologytimes/news/wearable-technology-expands-mobility-visually-impaired?page=0,0|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=Ophthalmology Times|date=1 April 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Liedtke|first1=Michael|title=Toronto company eSight helping the visually impaired see|url=https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/toronto-company-esight-helping-the-visually-impaired-see/article34128766/|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=The Globe and Mail|date=24 February 2017}} 5. ^1 {{cite press release|title=New Wearable Breakthrough Announced: eSight 3 sets the gold standard for the most sophisticated low vision glasses of its kind anywhere in the world, enabling the legally blind to actually see, be mobile, and independently carry out virtually all Activities of Daily Living|url=http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/new-wearable-breakthrough-announced-esight-3-sets-gold-standard-most-sophisticated-low-2196165.htm|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=Market Wired|date=15 February 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Rains|first1=Ben|title=eSight Helps Blind Man Watch Soccer Decades After Soccer Accident|url=https://www.sporttechie.com/esight-helps-blind-watch-soccer-decades-accident/|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=Sport Techie|date=6 August 2017}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Best Gadgets of 2017|url=http://time.com/4798400/best-technology-2017-so-far/|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=Time magazine|date=31 May 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Oakes|first1=Kelly|title=6 Inventions Changing British People's Lives In 2017|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/kellyoakes/inventions-changing-british-peoples-lives-in-2017|accessdate=2 September 2017|publisher=BuzzFeed|date=1 August 2017}} External links
