Hey john and others, 

This is a take on how you can use the macaron. 

Please take it light heartedly :))

 You are correct, it should have come with discriptive video.  There
 were several things in the video that should have been explaned in
 order to target the correct audience. Sorry, but it seemed to be
 almost promoted like you would a new toy for boys to play with.

Wow, that’s one hell of a test case there John.;)

I’m glad I’m not working in your QA department.;) haha

I’m curious about this application after reading this thread.

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

Hi Jonathan,

I haven't tried doing that, and I wouldn't advise anyone to do it either. 
Whatever tech it is, however we've tried this indoors and outdoors, and it's 
precise enough to find a recess between two glass panels. This is a 5 cm change 
on the surface. We do need to test this in more areas and situations though, 
and keep reiterating over our current model until we have something rock solid.

Thanks for your feedback :)

 That can be done by changing the voice script. I used to work for a

 doing up a video, where your target group is blind persons, one would
 not say, "Click on the icon over here or, this icon."

Hi Mika again, to answer the other questions:

We're still in the process of figuring out how low we can go with the price 
using the components we have, but it will be much cheaper than any of the 
solutions out there in terms of access tech which I personally find to be 
extortion.

We are working hard to distribute more beta units locally and will be releasing 
the full product in july.

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

[Yuma Decaux]

Hi Vica,

Thanks for the input. I guess being the developer, I kind of forget that it 
might not be something as evident haha.

I started this project when I realised I couldn't measure things around me 
while renovating my house. From there, I searched for solutions around the net, 
and couldn't find anything appropriate.

After a few prototypes, we added the navigation feature which allows you to 
walk around a place confidently. Some of our first beta users are saying this 
is much better than the mini guide, as it has a longer range and is more 
precise. Adding both tactile and audio feedback in a 3D binaural space also 
increases the confidence level when walking around.

We are optimising the components inside to allow us to navigate outdoors at a 
much faster pace. Namely, a GPS module with an error margin of centimeters and 
our challenge is to be able to jog around parcs using the bread crumbing 
feature, which I'll post a video of in the coming weeks.

Thanks for your feedback though, I'll record something more along that line.

Have a great day

Hi,
Can you just explain practical situations how it can help in your life?

I mean it doesn't matter what features it has if we don't know how
practically what kinds of tasks or things it could help with in the
real world. :)

Also how much will it cost and when will it be available?

Just want those kinds of nuts and bolts details.

Best,
Mika

Hi David,

After following your advice, I've updated our features page for the macaron 
with some audio explanations on the different features and our developement map 
for the next few months.

Please have a look and let me know if it resonates better :)

 You are correct, it should have come with discriptive video.  There
 were several things in the video that should have been explaned in
 order to target the correct audience. Sorry, but it seemed to be
 almost promoted like you would a new toy for boys to play with.

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

Hi David,

Appreciate the suggestion. We're hard at work finishing some features and as 
soon as we get them pushed out, I'll make a more descriptive video of how all 
the modes work.

Have a great day :)

 You are correct, it should have come with discriptive video.  There
 were several things in the video that should have been explaned in
 order to target the correct audience. Sorry, but it seemed to be
 almost promoted like you would a new toy for boys to play with.

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

[David and his growing pack of dogs. Benny, no longer with us his memory lives on through]

It is a good product, just the tutorial needs to be tweaked and, for
blind individuals they need to know what is going on during the video.
That can be done by changing the voice script. I used to work for a
radio station in the advertising department and was very familiar with
targeting the correct demmographics or audience. For example when
doing up a video, where your target group is blind persons, one would
not say, "Click on the icon over here or, this icon."
This concludes my brief history and is the end of instructions.  LOL.

 Hi everyone,

 Here's some information about a device called the macaron. It measures
 everything and anything using 2 main modes, via a digital tape measure
 and
 through an infrared sensor that measures distances beyond 2 meters.

 It also works as a navigation aid, with both tactile and audio feedback.
 it
 connects via bluetooth to an IOS app and has many different ways of
 measuring things, such as body measurements, sequential measurements,
 and
 the data can be saved and synched with statistical views.

 Further down, the developers are creating a bread crumb feature which

Hi,

I'm the blind guy in there haha. I designed the software behind it, and my good 
friend has been helping with the hardware.

We'll be making another video with more description and details about what it 
can do exactly, but we currently have several beta testers locally who are 
giving us feedback on things to improve etc.

Also, we're making it expandable especially for the navigation part, as we want 
to include a path maker using the app's map capabilities, which orients the 
user towards each path point clicked on by the device.

We'll definetely improve our next video though. Thanks for the feedback :)

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

[David and his growing pack of dogs. Benny, no longer with us his memory lives on through]

I watched and listened to the youtube video. To me, it seemed to be
targeting the sighted or low vission clientele. The blind person
introducing it seemed to be more of a shill rather then a designer.
You are correct, it should have come with discriptive video.  There
were several things in the video that should have been explaned in
order to target the correct audience. Sorry, but it seemed to be
almost promoted like you would a new toy for boys to play with.

New navigation device with accessibility in mind

[Yuma Decaux]

Hi everyone,

Hope all are enjoying the amazing times we are living in terms of accessibility.

Here's some information about a device called the macaron. It measures 
everything and anything using 2 main modes, via a digital tape measure and 
through an infrared sensor that measures distances beyond 2 meters.

It also works as a navigation aid, with both tactile and audio feedback. it 
connects via bluetooth to an IOS app and has many different ways of measuring 
things, such as body measurements, sequential measurements, and the data can be 
saved and synched with statistical views.

Further down, the developers are creating a bread crumb feature which allows 
the user to place marks to as many points as she wants and is given an audio 
based orientation guidance of the paths chosen.

There's more info below, as well as a link to features and a gallery. I wish 
the photos can be descriptive though:
