Dear listers I agree with Anne that you get best results in good natural light. The camera on the 5S is the best of the bunch so that might be helping too, but I assume that it also has the drawback that, because we’re talking about using it in live video mode, you do need massive bandwidth to get very responsive feedback on the thing you are pointing it at.
As for distances – it works on CDs, letters, shop hoardings and even buildings (it recognised the Girkin in London which was hundreds of yards away) so distance obviously varies. I am not sure myself but I imagine that holding it closer than a handspan away would crop part of an A4 sheet, say, but would comfortably get a whole CD case in view (if you centre the camera aperture on the middle of the object of course. Oh, one last thing back on bandwidth – I have 100 megabits per second here at home (probably the router maxes out before that ceiling thinking about it) so this may be why I love it so much at home, but I also do plenty of public speaking and always but always demo Talking Goggles and with semi-decent wifi connectivity it always works with a few seconds delay. I should also say that I have been demoing it long before I got my 5S. So to sum up – good lighting, good bandwidth, a steady hand (if bandwidth is limited then the hand will have to be even steadier I would imagine) and some skill at pointing it straight at the object in question. Oh, and plenty of luck. Hope that helps, Robin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected].
