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.

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.

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.

Just say

  • Iris, read this to me.
  • Iris, zoom in.
  • Iris, what time is it?
  • Iris, take a picture.
  • Iris, switch to Spanish.
  • Iris, play cooking videos on YouTube.

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 — 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.

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 — reading the mail, cooking dinner, or catching up with family.
