Ojo is a hearing product actually.
It was released as a video phone for hearing people then a company started SnapVRS and is using "Ojo" as their choice of device for video relay service.
Same thing with VP100 it is a hearing product and released as a DVS-1000 but Sorenson also use the same product for video relay service and name it to VP100.
FCC require that any video products used for video releay service must be compiable with each other so relay service companies cannot monoply the service all for themseleves. So no matter how many products there is out there but it all need to be able to connect to any federally funded video relay service.
Even Ojo have to be able to place calls to Sorenson Relay Service or 711i or My IP relay etc if it wasn't able to then FCC would not have approved of it being given out to deaf folks to use it for video relay service.
If a hearing person want to a video phone to make calls to deaf people then that great and it a freedom of choice on what they would like to choose to use to commuicate with anyone whom are hearing or deaf or blind etc.
