Kevin!
In the most recent webinar you mentioned a video you saw with chat gpt and somebody looking for a gate at the airport. Do you remember where you found that video?
Thanks,
Jim

I do think that there needs to be some control of the verbosity in everything from on device notifications, to live AI, to scene descriptions.

Including potentially using sounds like dings rather than voice for on device notifications and checkboxes for what we do or do not want to hear.

 

I’m also concerned that people around you will interrupt the AI when it’s talking as they will be picked up by the microphone.  This happens with meta a lot.

Please consider supporting dark mode on both ios and android. Almost every device and app made for someone with low vision has this functionality [from CCTVs/digital magnifier to on device apps] because it’s a very common need. 

Figured I’d mention this now since you are developing the ap.

Any cornea related conditions like glaucoma would have this requirement. 

e.g. I have clients at work who can read 6X text size on a black background but cannot read or identify controls at any magnification with a white background.

 

[Jeffrey D. Stark]

Similar to the dark mode request from my previous post, the lens color options are an important 1 to consider.

Any cornea related condition like glaucoma [most common eye condition] would have the requirement for a color lens.

e.g. I have clients at work who cannot see things when they are in the white or black color range because corneal changes add a white haze over everything they see.  Shifting the color range into a brown or orange allows them to see significantly more.

And, regarding verbosity, I wish that when describing a person if the glasses already recognize the person that it could state that first and maybe not go through the whole describing a person thing.  Maybe it could just say oh there's Bob or whoever the person is. Especially if we have to assign a name or whatever.  Maybe have an option to speak that name.  If I know that person I probably don't need to hear their description again, and probably already know what they look like or maybe don't care.

Regarding person description, I agree that it would be more handy to hear the person‘s name if they are recognised, and only had descriptions of people who are not recognised by the glasses.

Has anybody watched this video of the guy finding a gate at the airport? 

I wonder how he did that?  Wonder if he was wearing glasses and was chat gpt analyzing his photos?  That all seemed pretty involved but I'm the last person to know much about chat gpt.  I use it a lot but just for looking up stuff mostly.

Just wanted anybody's thought on this video if you watched it.

Thanks for the video short link.  That was very interesting and ChatGPT did a great job with that task.  Kevin, based on your experience how would you compare this experience with what EchoVision live mode will be able to do at launch and longer down the line with this sort of task?

[Tom Morrissey]

Amen on the dark mode for the UI of the apps.  If I recall correctly I've had discussion with Agiga and they assured me dark mode will be available at launch.  However what some consider dark mode isn't always actual dark mode so fingers crossed and I'm hoping to get an early crack at the app to assess this and provide any feedback that might be appropriate.  I encourage all to do the same to the degree you are able and willing.

Hi,

I too raised this issue a few months ago. If I put in someone’s name it’s because I want the glasses to tell me who they are, not what they look like first.

Is this something that will be implemented for release or will it come later?

Thanks
