The Latin word visus (pronounced vy-soos) means the power of sight. Visus Technology, Inc., was founded to support the development of integrated solutions to improve the quality of life for people with all levels of visual impairment. Principals of the firm have developed VelaSense® a novel software system that eliminates the need for separate devices for reading, socializing, identifying unfamiliar objects, or navigating outdoor or indoor environments. The vision is that this software also be made to benefit people with cognitive impairments like dyslexia, Alzheimers disease and other processing disorders, people with motor control deficits, vestibular and other balance disorders, and even sighted individuals for visual enhancement and guidance technologies.
