About
OrCam, an Israeli assistive technology startup, is closing its glasses department for the visually impaired and laying off dozens of employees in its third round of cuts this year. This follows earlier layoffs of 100 workers in June and 50 three months prior, leaving the company with only several dozen staff remaining. The decision, announced on July 28, 2024, stems from technological progress in AI and language models, which have made smartphone-based alternatives to OrCam's Low Vision products largely redundant. Consequently, the company will now focus exclusively on its Hear division for hearing aids. Founded by Mobileye's founders, OrCam had previously aimed for a high-value IPO, but those plans have stalled due to market conditions.
