This is a multi-part demo, condensed into one Double Tap podcast episode, which I produced for the team, a few weeks ago.
I believe that the demo represents the EchoVision product extremely well. I hope that folks will enjoy, and if you should have any questions, please do let me know.

Hi Roger. Thank you, that was an extremely impressive demo. I currently use a pair of Meta glasses v2 but the fact that the Echo Vision glasses are being developed specifically for a blind person is definitely obvious and front and center.

 

How is the battery life on these glasses especially when using Live AI mode and how long do you need to charge for a full charge?

Hi Rick, you’re going to get extremely short battery life, with the current iteration, the company claims may be 50% longer with the iteration coming out this summer. You charge them while you use them, that is to say, I can let them run all day, because I carry a large 10,000 and in some cases 20,000 mA pocket battery. You can run them use them charge them all at the same time, so you can just keep on rocking, all day long.
The thing that’s going to get you, is using Aira and be my eyes. And extensive use of always on, live AI mode. Those are real battery killers for the Meta’s, Oakley‘s, Agiga’s, whatever. It’s just a fact. You have a very small space for a very small battery, and things like always on camera action as would be the case with Aira or Be My Eyes or live AI, are gonna kill the battery. That’s why it’s handy to have an external battery pack and a USB-C cable that you can use. People have gotten to use battery packs that you can wear over your shoulders and conform to the contour of your shoulders and neck, I simply have a battery pack that goes in my pocket. In any event, you can run theese glasses, charge them, have a pizza, and keep on rolling all day long, if you have enough internal and external battery power.

Dear Roger,
what you write about the batteries is very true and the limit of other glasses.
This is why, but not only, even here in Europe we are following this product and its evolution with great interest.

Also, the forth-coming release of the EchoVision Smart Glasses, to the public will offer twice as much battery life.  However, as Roger has very aptly stated, no matter whose Smart glasses are in use, apps and platforms  which support AI will always weigh heavily upon battery resources.
