Bri Vision vs Ear Sonar

Bri Vision is your AI visual assistant, built with and for people who are blind or have low vision. It describes what's in front of you, reads any text out loud and recognizes products and codes. And it all happens inside your phone: by default, no image or recording ever leaves your device. FREE FOREVER - Describe your surroundings instantly with the camera - Read text, signs and labels out loud - Recognize products, barcodes and QR codes - Ask the assistant by voice or in writing - Translate with the translation skill BRI VISION PRO - ASK YOUR DOCUMENTS: save an invoice, a contract or a report and ask about its contents whenever you need - SHARE A WEB PAGE AND ASK IT: from your browser, share any page with Bri Vision and ask about it later - Your personal library with meaning-based search, not just keywords: find what you meant even if the document words it differently - Documents and books read and interpreted by the AI, not merely transcribed - Create your own skills: tailored instructions for what you do every day - HeyCyan smart glasses for hands-free use - Live mode: continuous description of your surroundings REAL PRIVACY, NOT PROMISED: the AI model, the camera and the microphone work offline, on your own phone. Your documents stay with you. REQUIREMENTS: the AI runs inside your phone, and that needs room. You need 8 GB of RAM and 5 GB free. The first time, it downloads the model (about 2.8 GB) over Wi-Fi. BUILT FOR NOT LOOKING AT THE SCREEN: VoiceOver and TalkBack friendly, large touch targets, adjustable verbosity and a voice interface that never leaves you in silence: you always know whether it's listening, thinking or ready. Bri Vision never makes up what it can't see clearly: when it's unsure, it says so. Your safety matters more than sounding perfect.

Ear Sonar is an accessibility app that helps people who are blind or have low vision sense nearby space. It uses the iPhone’s rear LiDAR to scan what’s ahead, then turns that depth into spatial audio—or haptics—so you can “hear” the environment. What you can hear • Distance: nearer sounds arrive sooner, denser, or higher in pitch; farther sounds are sparser and lower • Direction: binaural spatial audio places objects to your left or right • Shape cues: flat walls, slopes, and gaps create distinct sonic rhythms Four sensing modes • Echolocation: row-by-row pings outline space like sonar returns • Pitch sonar: a rising scan line encodes distance as pitch in real time • Continuous sonar: a fixed center line for a live depth profile while you walk • Haptic sonar: vibration timing encodes distance—no headphones required Semantic markers Optionally detect people, vehicles, dogs, chairs, tables, doors, and more, then announce them in stereo from their real-world direction. All processing stays on device; nothing is uploaded. Tips • Stereo headphones are recommended (Apple headphones with head tracking and spatial audio work best); haptic mode can be used without headphones • Full VoiceOver support, including gestures and the rotor • Requires an iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models) • This is an assistive tool—not a replacement for a cane, guide dog, or your own judgment when traveling Open the app and start hearing space. Camera preview is on by default so sighted helpers can see what’s being scanned. To keep the experience focused, the app intentionally avoids UI that isn’t essential to core sensing.
