IrisVision Vista headset

Not just a magnifier

A whole low-vision companion, in one headset

Most low-vision aids only make things bigger. Vista does far more. It combines a voice-first AI assistant, a full set of vision modes, and everyday entertainment in one lightweight headset — built around how people with low vision actually live. Put it on, speak naturally, and get on with your day.

  • 14× zoom

    Our strongest magnification, from across the room to the smallest print.

  • Custom viewport size

    Make the viewing window larger or smaller to match your field of vision.

  • Advanced Customization

    Fine-tune the view for advanced eye conditions, setting by setting.

  • Iris, built in

    Ask Vista to read, zoom, or change the view. There are no menus to memorize.

  • 14 languages

    Iris understands and replies in the language you use at home, then switches when you ask.

  • Vision modes

    Zoom, contrast, brightness, and reading modes, changed with a sentence.

  • Controller included

    A handheld controller for extra control, when you would rather press than speak.

  • IPD and focus dials

    Set the lens spacing and focus to your eyes for extra clarity.

  • Head straps

    Spread the 520 g weight across your head, so Vista stays comfortable.

  • Movies, books, and games

    Watch a film, listen to a book, or play a game. Ask Iris, then play, pause, and skip.

  • Reads text aloud

    Look at a page, a label, or a letter, and Iris reads it to you.

  • Personal coaching

    Every pair includes one coaching session.

Included with every pair

Just ask Iris.

Iris is the AI platform built into all of our glasses. Ask it to read to you, zoom in, change the view, or put on a video, in your own language. Every pair of IrisVision glasses comes with Iris.

Reads text aloud

Look at a page, a label, or a letter, and Iris reads it to you.

Vision modes

Zoom, contrast, brightness, and reading modes, changed with a sentence.

Watch and follow along

Put on YouTube, catch the news, or follow a cooking lesson.

Movies, books, and games

Watch a film, listen to a book, or play a game. Ask Iris, then play, pause, and skip.

No menus to learn

Say what you want in plain words. There is nothing to memorize.

See the world your way

A mode for every moment

Vista adapts to what you’re doing. Ask Iris to switch modes and the view changes instantly — camera modes for seeing the room, plus Movies, Books, Games, and Photo Gallery for time in the headset.

Welcome

Your startup screen. A stable, high-contrast image helps you dial in the headset’s focus and IPD (eye spacing) for the sharpest possible view before you begin.

Scene

The everyday live view. See your real surroundings in natural, vivid color with automatic focus, and zoom in up to 14x on whatever you’re looking at.

Bubble

A magnifying bubble in the center of the Scene view — sharpen a price tag, a face, or a sign while keeping the rest of the scene around it.

Bioptic

A rectangular telescope window. Magnify a distant sign or a face while the rest of the room stays in view — size and place the box so it sits where you need it.

Reading

Ultra-high-contrast text. Start with crisp black-on-white, or switch to inverted, yellow, or green — and use Reading Line to focus on one magnified line at a time.

RP

For tunnel vision. Shrink the whole picture with the remote until everything you need fits inside your remaining field of view.

Television

Tuned for screens. Special exposure settings cut backlight glare, and the display won’t time out in the middle of your show.

Outline

For getting around. Vista traces bold, high-contrast outlines around objects and edges, with adjustable line thickness and sensitivity.

Movies

Free full-length films inside Vista. Ask Iris to search, then play, pause, and scrub with the remote.

Books

Free audio books, hands-free. Search by title, then play, pause, and skip by voice or remote.

Games

Games built for the low vision community. Play from the headset with the remote — no tiny phone screen.

Photo Gallery

Every picture you take, ready when you are. Zoom in on the details that matter to you.

Watch and listen

Movies, books, and YouTube — in the headset

Low vision shouldn’t mean missing the film, the chapter, or the clip. Vista brings entertainment into the headset — search by voice, then sit back.

YouTube

Ask Iris to find and play videos — recipes, news, music, how-tos, or your favorite channel — and watch them full-size inside the headset.

Movies

Search and watch free full-length films in Vista. The same simple controls as YouTube: ask Iris, play, pause, and scrub with the remote.

Books

Listen to free audio books hands-free. Search by title, then play, pause, and skip with your voice or the remote.

Stream TV

Bring your television, computer, or a streaming stick into Vista with the Vision Cast transmitter — enlarged and clear from your chair.

* Requires the Vision Cast accessory, sold separately.

Designed for low vision

Games you can see — and play

These titles were built for Vista, not squeezed in from a phone. Huge high-contrast art, simple stick controls, and Iris talking you through every turn. Open Games on the headset and pick one.

Dice Roll game icon from Vista

Dice Roll

You versus Iris. Roll to build your turn, or hold to bank it. A one busts the turn. First to one hundred wins.

Hangman game icon from Vista

Hangman

Ten questions with three choices. Stick up or press Action to pick, stick down for the next. Five misses and the round is over.

Higher or Lower game icon from Vista

Higher or Lower

A number is on the card. Guess whether the next one is higher or lower. Thirty seconds — stick up for higher, stick down for lower.

Look back

Every picture you take

Just say “Iris, take a picture.” Then, in Photo Gallery, zoom in on the details that matter to you.

Just say

Iris, take a picture.

Made to wear all day

Light, comfortable, ready when you are

Vista is featherlight and well balanced, so it stays comfortable from morning to night. It starts fast, works without a Wi-Fi connection, and is controlled entirely by voice or a simple remote — no fiddly setup, no menus to learn.

Everything is designed to fade into the background so you can focus on the moment, not the device — whether that’s reading the mail, cooking dinner, or catching up with family.

Coaching included

A coach, one on one, at home.

    Every pair includes one coaching session.

  • Audio or video, at home

    Meet one on one from the comfort of your home. A sighted helper is highly recommended.

  • Coaches who know the glasses

    They know the device and tailor the session to your individual needs.
