🎯 Key Features

✋ Microgesture Controls No buttons—just tiny thumb motions to control everything one-handed.

👂 Real-Time Environment Understanding

Instant audio descriptions of people, objects, and details around you.

🔤 Text Recognition

Swipe to read signs, labels, screens, and documents instantly.

⚠️ Danger Detection

Immediate alerts when hazards are detected ahead or behind you.

🦯 EchoRay: Virtual Guide Cane

Turn your hand into a spatial audio guide cane. Through MR, EchoRay transforms surfaces into 3D sound—closer obstacles sound louder. Navigate by listening, like a white cane.

✋ How It Works

  • Scan surroundings → Thumb Tap
  • Left / Right Swipe → Read text
  • Detect danger → Forward / Backward Swipe
  • EchoRay → Pinch & Hold 3 sec

Raise thumb beside index finger, tap or slide. EchoRay: pinch and hold. Both hands work independently.

This app is incredible!

I've had some amazing experiences using it. Let me tell you about two recent ones that really show how awesome it is. So, I was staying at this hotel, right? Come breakfast time, I needed help figuring out where everything was - you know, the food, plates, napkins, the works. I fired up the app and got connected to this Echo Eyes who was just fantastic. They walked me through everything - showed me where to find the coffee machine and cups, taught me how to use it, and then gave me a rundown of all the other stuff around. I'm talking cereal, milk, eggs, sausage, muffins, bread, napkins, plates, cutlery - the whole shebang. Thanks to them, I knew my way around that breakfast buffet for my entire week-long stay. Talk about a game-changer! Later during my stay, I called another Echo Eyes to help me figure out the treadmill. They gave me step-by-step instructions that were spot on. I didn't need to bug any hotel staff for help - I was all set! I'm just so grateful for these Echo Eyes. They're the real MVPs, you know? This app has seriously made my life so much easier. I can't imagine not having it now. It's a total lifesaver!

Please provide text recognition.

This is a very promising app that can truly help many blind people live more independently. However, the current features of the product are still too limited. I believe the developers should quickly provide text recognition, as it is a common need and can really assist many people. I hope the developers continue to update the app and bring more useful features.

Hope for a Free Version

I’m really surprised to see this kind of helpful app on Quest. I hope the developers can offer a free version, as it could help more blind people.

This is an awesome idea!

The current version has a great experience and responds quickly most of the time. However, sometimes gesture recognition can still make mistakes. Also, blind users need more features, like finding items or voice interaction. This is a meaningful app, and I will support the developers to keep moving forward
