XR Accessibility
See the world
without announcing
you can't.
Brail pairs XR glasses with a discreet ring and AI that automatically knows what you're looking at. No voice commands. No touching your glasses. No one around you knows.
The tech works.
The experience doesn't.
Every existing low vision device forces you to do something embarrassing in public. That's why $6,000 headsets sit in drawers. People want to feel normal.
Touch your face
Every tap on your glasses announces your disability to everyone in the room.
Talk to your device
"Hey glasses, read this menu" makes everyone at the table stare.
Look different
$6,000 headsets that look like VR gear. Not something you wear to dinner.
Pay more, get less
$3,000 to $6,000 for dedicated devices. Insurance battles. Financial stress on top of vision loss.
Not an app.
A coordinated system.
Five components that work together so you never have to touch your face or talk to your glasses in public. You choose your control method.
Glasses
See
Camera, display, AI processing. Compatible XR glasses that look like regular sunglasses.
Earpiece
Hear
Audio feedback, scene descriptions, text reading. Standard earbuds or AirPods.
Control Ring
Touch
Discreet input, mode switching. Tap under the table. Nobody notices.
Wrist Band
Tap
Alternative input. Looks like a fitness tracker. Tap zones with haptic feedback.
Sleeve Clip
Press
Chest or sleeve mounted button. Press discreetly, like a security earpiece.
Real life. No drama.
Here's what using Brail actually looks like.
Walking down the street
Meeting someone
At a restaurant
Grocery store
It knows what you're looking at.
Without being told.
The AI classifies scenes in real-time and acts automatically. You never have to describe what you see or ask “what is this?”
You control the volume.

Only announce when you tap
Active
Auto-announce faces and navigation

Announce everything (new environments)

Face Recognition
On-device, saved contacts only
Privacy by design.
Face recognition only matches your saved contacts. No cloud storage of camera feeds. On-device processing for scene classification. Cloud only for complex queries you initiate.
Wide open.
Zero competition.
Nobody is building comprehensive low vision accessibility on consumer XR glasses. The medical devices cost 4 to 9 times more and look like VR headsets.
