hi Tali,
Thanks for jumping in here. It seems to me that there are, at least, 2
possible use options for RightHear. 1. in large public spaces, airports,
railway stations, hospitals, hotels etc. 2. Domestic use, as expressed here,
labelling the post box, a particular tree as a landmark, gates etc. Could you
comment on how this latter option might be acquired by some of us? I, for
example, live on an acre of land, in rural ireland, and would love to be able
to label and find different landmarks outside of my house, would this be
possible?i might also want to take these same labels with me on holiday and use
them there, with new info recorded on them, would this be something I could
easily do? Also, what kind of range will they cover and are they weatherproof?
Sorry if this puts pressure on you, but i am very interested in the
answers!!
Sandy.
