Luca Nardelli (CTO & co-founder)

We create devices that are truly

intelligent. Our devices are able to

identify patterns in raw data and learn

how to make smart decisions.

Artificial intelligence

We combine the most advanced

technology in the robotics field with the

immediacy and user-friendliness of

wearable devices.

Robotics and wearable devices

We work to improve the quality of life of

people who have a serious disorder or a

disability condition.

What we do

Our first product: Horus

The invisible made audible

Horus observes, understands and describes the environment to its user,

providing useful information through an audio interface.

What Horus is

Horus aids people with visual impairments

Retinitis pigmentosa Cataract Glaucoma

Macular degeneration Diabetic retinopathy Complete blindness

30 million people among the world’s visually impaired live in high-income settings and they spend on average $90

Bn* a year in assistive technology.

Horus can change lives

When I left home, I was afraid that this

product demonstration would be

disappointing, so I decided to keep my

expectations low. Fortunately, I was

wrong and using Horus was a truly

great experience. I am overjoyed!

Sergio Muzzolon

What Our Beta Testers are Saying

For the last two years, I’ve been saving

all the money I have received for

Christmas and for my birthday so that I

can buy Horus as soon as it’s released.

Vania Cappi Costantino Coco

What I like about you guys is that you

don't just want to offer a standard

product, but you want to change

people’s lives for real!

Audio labels Text

Data collected by Horus, including audio labels assigned to different objects, is sent to a server and used to train our machine learning models. The results of this

training are sent back to all Horus devices through regular updates, guaranteeing improved results over time. The data collected from the devices, as well as the

labeling work done by our users for free, is very valuable to Eyra.

NOTE: Data is collected in anonymous form. Labels assigned by users to specific faces are not collected. An arbitrary ID is assigned automatically to each face.
