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. > On Mar 9, 2017, at 11:48 PM, Yuma Decaux wrote: > > Hi Jonathan, > > I haven't tried doing that, and I

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

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

So could I confidently walk on my roof with this device and know how close to the edge I am? Oh, and find the laddar I left ten feet from the NW corner? Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On Mar 9, 2017, at 6:56 PM, Yuma Decaux wrote: > > Hi Mika again, to answer the other

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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 :) http://oseyeris.com > On 28/02/2017, at

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 :) > On 28/02/2017, at 3:55 PM, David and his growing pack of dogs. Benny, no > longer with

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

I absolutely love this sort of thing. I love how coding enables small groups or individuals to solve these problems that years ago would have costed hundreds of thousands of dollars to solve now can be done in your home with lower overhead. I’m going to follow this project and wish you a lot

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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

Re: New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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

New navigation device with accessibility in mind

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
