As the days get warmer and longer, it’s the perfect time to make the most of wearable technology. From heading outdoors with friends to enjoying summer adventures, the right tools can give you freedom and confidence.

At the Vision Store, we’ve brought together some smart and practical wearable devices designed to support your lifestyle this season. Our Adaptive Technology services can help you get the most from these tools.

Smart assistance on the go

The ARx AI Headset at the Vision Store is a game-changer in wearable technology. Using artificial intelligence, it can describe your surroundings, identify objects, and help with navigation, perfect for getting out and about as summer brings more time outside.

Carry your cane with ease

If you’re heading to the park, the beach, or even just a busy shopping centre, the Ambutech Cane Holster at the Vision Store makes life easier. It clips securely to your belt, so your cane is always close at hand without getting in the way.

Stylish timekeeping

Talking Watches at the Vision Store offer classic style and practical function. With the touch of a button, it announces the time clearly, so you can keep track of long summer days and late evenings with friends. For something more compact, the Talking Keyring Clock at the Vision Store gives you time announcements wherever you are.

Magnification made wearable

Sometimes you want hands-free magnification for reading, hobbies, or detailed work. The Eschenbach MaxDetail Glasses at the Vision Store are designed just for that. Simply wear them like regular glasses and enjoy a clear, enlarged view – ideal for reading outdoors, tackling craft projects, or watching summer sports.
