    It would be a good idea to create one like this for people whom are both deaf and blind. Maybe it could read their sign language and translate it to audio. It could vibrate different ways to tell them when it works or other functions.

    Hi Sam, I'm incredibly grateful you are able to learn how to use different technologies like this so you can share different devices for us like this. Since I've lost so much vision, I've also experienced some impairment of my cognitive abilities and I am still learning how that has fallen out for me. I'm also still getting used to how much slower using adaptive tech is compared to just having vision. Sigh. Sounds like for my level of vision, I'm still best off using the OR Cam I got after a lot of thought. I'm also part of a peer support group for my region that meet twice a month online, and I have mentioned your channel a couple of times already. :) We are in Canada, but so much of your info is relevant to us.
    Sounds like this device, the Google glass one, still has a ways to go to be reliable enough in all situations. I'm not a fan of the need for wi fi or a hotspot.

      Sorry to bother you, but I was looking into getting the orcam pro. I’ve been wondering how these products hold up to frequent use? Like, is its build quality able to handle accidental drops and just plain usage for months and years, if that makes any sense. I would sincerely appreciate it if you would be willing to share your experience in this.

    Sam, this is an amazing piece of equipment and as always, you do an excellent job at these demonstrations. I really appreciate all of your videos. As I mentioned once before, because of your videos I was able to get an OrCam read device and it has been extremely helpful. The only problem I have with your videos even though I am subscribed I am not getting the notifications for them much anymore. Only a few notifications come through and I find the rest of them by going to the TH-cam search feature for your channel. Anyway, thanks again for all of the great work that you do.

      @@JazzyCat007 I have owned and OrCam read for approximately one year now and have found it quite useful and effective. As far as the durability is concerned, I have dropped it a few times but it has not seem to be any worse for the wear. It still works fine. It takes a little bit of adaptation or time to get used to using it properly but it’s not that difficult at all. Overall, though it seems a little flimsy. It is actually fairly tough. Of course, anything can happen to any piece of equipment but for the most part I have had no real difficulties with it. I did have initially some problem getting it to connect to Wi-Fi but I’m told that it has been made much more easy with the current software updates. Again, I think that you will find it quite useful especially if you have someone train you with it initially. If anyone has any more questions, please post them here and as a user of the OrCam I will definitely try to answer them.

    Nice review Sam. Informative as usual.
    I have been very interested in the glasses for sometime. However, I don't think the features justify the price since the app performs the same functions as the app.
    I would like a feature that would better describe a scene as I am out wandering around streets. I occasionally get turned around on walks and it would be great if it could sync with google maps that can assist with getting around.
    Also I'd like it to help identify cars, bikes, and people and dogs walking by me on walks. I've had some close calls while crossing the street as I can't always hear a car.

    • @LUMENMK
      @LUMENMK 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The app is actually more functional, as your phone is always online. The glasses are notoriously of-line when you need them the most. Making a hotspot out of your phone is not a reliable solution, because your phone can decide on it’s own to shut down internet access for the device.

    FROM CROATIA: Dear,
    I lack sufficient words to express my enthusiasm for the information on your channel, nor do I have enough gratitude. The quality of the video and your presentation is truly the best I could find, and for that, I congratulate you. I have worked in the education system for almost 30 years as a teacher and as a principal, I have a PhD in pedagogy, but I have rarely met someone who coordinates all the performance details so well.
    I have similar visual difficulties as you described in your case, and therefore, I am thrilled with the aids you represent, especially with the Envision Glasses (although I also like the Aceseidhe VR from Zoomax, where language is not important to me).
    I am interested in whether there is support for other languages in Envision Glasses, besides English, for example, the Croatian language?
    With utmost respect,
    Marijan Madunić

    • @macadamiaowl9702
      @macadamiaowl9702 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I have both: Envision Glasses are having 2x battery life and faster charging, lower price, more languages, video calling, more updates 1 every month, you get app Envision too, you can export text, call your Ally a support person, there's scene description and handwriting recognition - you don't have this with OrCam. It's light rain resistant but not waterproof! With Smith Optics Frames you can put on custom lenses but they cost 300$ extra still feel cheap plastic sadly no other options. I wish they could build in SIM card slot or eSIM that would resolve connection issues, i don't want to kill my phone battery to use it as hotspot or buy extra little modem and data plan for Glasses only :/
      OrCam can be placed on almost on any glasses and any side you prefer. It has full offline functionality, much better text people recognition accuracy but it's limited to only 3 predefined languages you can't switch or choose - it's defined by region you buy it. Battery life is max 2 hours, it's smaller, more comfortable, performs much better in low light and has LED light which it can use automatically if needed - Envision Glasses sadly don't have no light if there's to dark they won't work they won't even warn you it's too dark. OrCam is bit more polished: tells you if you're holding text upside down, if some text was unrecognized and where, tells you how to fix it by moving your head to right position or text and guides you with that. It has Point with Finger for fine navigation what you point it will be read to you. It's drizzle resistant but not water resistant.

    As a blind person, I could see a lot of drawbacks with the device. It takes a while for it to be able to identify things with peeping and recognition. I’m hoping in the future they have something that will be more direct. Another words tell you instantly what’s in front of you and then the fact that you you had to be on a Wi-Fi that I was so it’s another deterrent to it and it is expensive so But you know for some people it might work I don’t think it would work for me though as a blind person

    hello, congratulations on your video. I recently discovered these glasses and now I will look for a place to try them on and buy them also in Italy. I wanted to ask you something that I did not understand: there are the find objects and find people mode, but is there also a way to find objects and people without selecting one of the two modes?
    Let me explain: if I'm on the street, is there a way to explore objects and people to find out what's around me without selecting an object? Thanks in advance.

      I don’t know if this helps Julia. I have The or Kim. This device seems to me does a lot more. It finds objects. Also has an object Explora I don’t know exactly how good that works but it seems to me this device has more features. I do like The or Kim but sometimes I get disappointed when it only describes maybe tables chairs in the door and that’s it. Also I think this device researching it has a wider lens it’ll read text better. I’m going to get this device and try it out for 30 days you have it free for 30 days and then you have to either send it back or buy it. I don’t have to have something that reads better but also going outside if it knew there was a car in front of me besides my having my cane this would be great or going somewhere it seems like it describes people even better than the oar camp does.

      You tap it on the right side of the glasses frame there's small portion that reacts to touch: touchpad that's hard to feel before your right ear but behind the camera and beginning of glasses frame.
      For now there's not much you can do trough app: you can add/remove wifi and bluetooth connection, add ally, add faces, check battery lecel. Most is on Glasses almost nothing for now is in app.

      If it only cost a couple hundred dollars, then the companies wouldn’t make any money and wouldn’t be able to put out any product. They would actually lose money. It’s simply the economics of assistive technology. I made a whole video titled why is assistive technology so expensive where I explain all of this.

They have best accuracy they're not so prone to outside or artificial light, they have multiple sensors to avoid errors caused by facture or fabric.

Because they know we can't afford all of that but we need that, insurance or government, someone will pay for that that's why they ask such high prices. Because those are essential tools for independent living that we need to be competitive against healthy people and someone will pay because we need it.

There will be voice commands in future. When using phone both hands are needed to hold, point and swipe and other complex gestures even while shopping it's much nicer with those Glasses. Now i have shopping bag a purse in one hand, a white cane in other - add a smartphone to that! That would be so uncomfortable!

    Not everyone has unlimited hotspot on their phone and this can be a bad thing? The other thing is that spending so much money on these it's nice that you can call your family or friends but it would be nice if you could connect these glasses with Aira and Be My Eyes services as well not only in your home but in the real wide world? They need to since the glasses are app-based it would be nice if they could make it so the app that runs the glasses could use your phone's internet connection or your phone's LTE or phone signal like other apps would use? A big one would be that the glasses neeeeeeeeeeed to be so much cheaper in price??? That is very high priced for something that you can't work in a real-world situation without wifi? I do wear glasses and it would be nice if there was a special bracket that could connect to my glasses so I wouldn't need to purchase frames that I will have to go and get new lenses fitted to just to end up spending more money than I don't already have to begin with? These are nice but I think that there need to be some major improvements? I do have some eye vision but there are some things where it would be nice to find where dropoffs are and to help locate curb-cuts and sometimes find the traffic light color and or the walk signal etc. Reading the headers on trains and buses and other things like would be helpful with these glasses? There are some areas that are painted with the hashtags showing that there is a ramp in an ADA parking spot but sometimes there is not a ramp off of a sidewalk but a dropoff instead. If these glasses could detect things like that and could help tell people where the real ramp is and how steep it is that would help me out the most? Now I do use a pair of wireless headphones and it would be nice if the glasses could connect to my phone and the sound could go over my pair of headphones so I don't have to switch headphones to use this device? It almost sounds like the same app that runs these glasses is the Seeing AI and that app is worthless. It was telling me on my phone that my CPAP was a car when there was no car in the shot real or fake or a toy etc?
