IrisVision Vista

Vista by IrisVision

The world’s first voice-first low-vision headset. Just speak, and Vista responds — reading, zooming, and adjusting for you, hands-free and in your language. Vista by IrisVision was previously Live 2.0.

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.

Your built-in assistant

Meet Iris

Iris is the AI voice assistant built into every Vista. There are no menus to memorize and no tiny buttons to find — you simply ask. Iris can read text aloud, zoom in, brighten or add contrast, switch between vision modes, take a picture, tell the time, and open videos, all by voice.

Say the wake word and Iris is listening. Because the core commands run on the device, Iris keeps working even when you’re offline — so help is always a sentence away.

Naturally multilingual

Iris speaks your language

Iris understands and replies in 11 languages, naturally — no rigid phrases or robotic commands. Talk to Vista the way you talk to a person, in the words that feel like home, and switch languages any time just by asking.

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 — tuned for reading, watching, exploring, and more.

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.

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.

YouTube

Search and play videos completely hands-free — just ask Iris for recipes, news, or your favorite channel.

Do more of what you love

Stay entertained, your way

Low vision shouldn’t mean missing the movie or the match. Vista brings your favorite entertainment right into the headset — zoomed, enhanced, and comfortable to watch.

YouTube, hands-free

Ask Iris to find and play videos — recipes, news, music, how-tos, or your favorite channel — and watch them full-size inside the headset, no phone or remote required.

TV & streaming

Add the Vision Cast accessory to bring your television and streaming devices into Vista, enlarged and enhanced so you can follow every scene from your favorite chair.

* Requires the Vision Cast accessory, sold separately.

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.

You’re never on your own

One-on-one help from people who get it

Every Vista comes with our community of Coaches. They meet with you one-on-one, right from the comfort of home, to help you set up your device, learn the modes, and get real results in your everyday life.

Our Coaches are themselves low-vision persons and IrisVision users — they understand the challenges firsthand, and they’re patient, encouraging, and genuinely on your side.

Accessories

Expand what Vista can do

Vision Cast streams content from your TV, computer, or a streaming device straight into your headset — connect it once, then sit back and watch, enlarged and clear.

A wireless remote keeps zoom, brightness, and modes within easy reach when you’d rather tap than talk. Every Vista also arrives ready to use, with its display, charger, and remote in the box.
