Lionel Messi has been unveiled as an ambassador for OrCam Technologies, 'leading the charge to improve accessibility through OrCam's breakthrough AI technologies for people who are blind or visually impaired'.

Through the partnership, the football icon will gift the OrCam MyEye, an artificial vision device that discreetly reads printed and digital text from any surface, to people with inspiring stories, meeting some individuals personally in Barcelona to form the OrCam Dream Team. Speaking of the first meeting, Messi said 'The emotion was incredible... Witnessing each of the members of the "Dream Team" trying out the OrCam MyEye features, it was clear that this would be a life-changing device for each of them. I am proud to be an OrCam ambassador to truly make a difference for so many'.
