To me the longlasting battery isn't as important as other features. Saving information and clearly putting it to something the device picks up, seems to me rather difficult. How do we know, i.e. who or what exactly we're looking at? It's also quite difficult, I find, with all the audio information we have to pick up already.

RE: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
They can't expect any fonding from blind people, since the video is purely visual. Having not read their site, I don't know what this Horus really does. If they'd really care to improve the quality of life of blind people, you'd think they'd at least take into consideration that blind people without those super glasses aren't able to read subtitles. To me the longlasting battery isn't as important as other features. Saving information and clearly putting it to something the device picks up, seems to me rather difficult. How do we know, i.e. who or what exactly we're looking at? It's also quite difficult, I find, with all the audio information we have to pick up already. I don't think that I'd want another additional information channel streaming into my brain. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert Godridge Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 4:11 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share No, it isn't.

The video is mostly meant for sighted people, but do read the web sight it is much more detailed. You can save things on it I'm guessing, sinse it mentions being able to save the face of a loved one etc so I'm guessing that there are presets somewhere in there. The potential of this thing is enormous, you guys must realise that. No more wondering what something in a shop is with this as one tiny example.

Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
it fits on a pair of glasses. People walk around with glasses on all the time it's not like you're having to carry it about with you. Yes, I'd rather have it from a human. I think we all would. But that's not always going to happen is it? This is the single most exciting blind related thing I've ever heard about, seriously life-changing stuff.

Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
Not if you're in a busy street and you do not know they are there. It doesn't seem like hype to me. and let's face it, if it isn't hype and is genuine wouldn't you say it's pretty amazing? it can read books to you aparrently and personally I'd be willing to risk a bit of funding for such a life-changing thing. I've spent money on things I hardly use, cds I hardly play, etc, but the point is if this doesn't get the funding it needs and is what they say it is and can do what they say it can, the entire blind comunity is seriously missing out. Why don't those of us with specific questions ask the developers them?

RE: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
I assume to a person who's been blind from birth looking at a certain thing can only be achieved with a great amount of training, if at all. If people don't even think when doing a promotion video they most certainly don't have blind people in mind but only profit. I'd be very careful with your hopes, if I were you. This can only lead to disappointment.

Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
What's wrong with making a youtube video? everything else is in text. the web page is text, the project sight is text, etc. What is wrong with a video so that sighted people can actually see the thing? and if they're trying to get it premoted that is because they need backing. I don't see anything wrong with that. I really think people should be told about this.

Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
I would just include good description in the audio. Doesn’t have to be a separate track for us. From: Brent Harding Sent: Monday, December 29, 2014 1:11 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share I wonder how Youtube deals with video files you upload that contain a second track that description would be in? Will it give the viewer an option to switch, or do they end up stripping it out? I suppose you could upload a second one that's described. - Original Message - From: Alexandra Grünauer al.gruena...@gmx.de To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 4:12 PM Subject: RE: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share There is such a thing as audio description which would be appropriate, I think. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert Godridge Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 10:58 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share What's wrong with making a youtube video? everything else is in text. the web page is text, the project sight is text, etc. What is wrong with a video so that sighted people can actually see the thing? and if they're trying to get it premoted that is because they need backing. I don't see anything wrong with that. I really think people should be told about this.

If people don't even think when doing a promotion video they most certainly don't have blind people in mind but only profit. I'd be very careful with your hopes, if I were you. This can only lead to disappointment.

You can save things on it I'm guessing, sinse it mentions being able to save the face of a loved one etc so I'm guessing that there are presets somewhere in there. The potential of this thing is enormous, you guys must realise that. No more wondering what something in a shop is with this as one tiny example.

Having not read their site, I don't know what this Horus really does. If they'd really care to improve the quality of life of blind people, you'd think they'd at least take into consideration that blind people without those super glasses aren't able to read subtitles. To me the longlasting battery isn't as important as other features. Saving information and clearly putting it to something the device picks up, seems to me rather difficult. How do we know, i.e. who or what exactly we're looking at? It's also quite difficult, I find, with all the audio information we have to pick up already. I don't think that I'd want another additional information channel streaming into my brain. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert Godridge Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 4:11 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share No, it isn't. There's a video about it on youtube, it just sounds almost too good to be true. Just think of the difference it would make.
