A new user has plenty of questions.

Hi to all, from Ron Kolesar, from the state of Pennsylvania.
I'm suppose to get my glasses in two more days.
My first question is this.
I know that we sadly can't wear the glasses in the pool.
It would be oh so nice if we could.
For we who'd like to learn to scuba time and for we who take aquatic
exercise classes and swim laps at our local YMCA pools.
But how will they stand up against the elements of rain and or snow?
Also, how will they stand up against swat as well?
I do a quite of bit of working out and I also like laying out in the sun and
we sweat while laying out in the sun as well as exercising and just was
curious about how they would stand up.
Also, would they read display screens on exercise equipment as well?
I have no vision left, thanks to R.P.
I'm looking forward to looking at the moon, stars and the night sky once
again.
For just a few examples for starters.
How is the facial recognition coming?
It will be interesting to look at one's self in the mirror or being able to
recognizing my aid as well.
That I've worked with for almost two years now. LOL.
It also will be nice to recognize my lifeguard friends at my local YMCA pool
as well.
How can I perform the facial recognition mode?
Will the glasses do the following, and which would be better to get the most
out of the glasses and to extend on the battery life as much as possible?
The scene mode or live ai mode?
I have to be with a walker and or wheelchair when I'm out and about.
This is why I mainly have been working with a aid.
When I get out of my aid's car and get into the wheelchair, Would I be able
to push and steer the wheelchair from the car to the front sliding glass
doors of the y building without hitting anyone or knocking them down or
running into a car or have them hit me?
You know that you have both people and cars come at you in a split second
from the corner of your eye/blind spots all of the time.
Would I be able to find my way from the front gate to down the hallway to
the elevator safely and efficiently as well?
I know I probably shouldn't try going around the pool to where I usually get
into the pool, because there's no safety rails around the edge of the pool.
So, with my luck, I'd probably would then find the water the hard way.
SMILES.
So, if anyone can answer the above questions, I'd deeply appreciate that.
I know that I'll be able to read menu boards while standing in line at say
Burger King, and or Dairy Queen and so on with scene or read mode.
Would I be able to follow someone to the line/counter for ordering food at a
fast food restaurant, or would I still need someone to hand onto the front
of my walker to guide me that way or to push me when I have to use the
stupid wheelchair?
I know we can't at this time use them for safely crossing the street or for
reading traffic lights.
No matter what technology we use these days, nothing well replace common
sense, mobility skills like a cane or guide dog experience or rehab
experiences.
But, I thought I'd ask the tough questions anyways.
I understand that we might be able to enjoy tv and or a movie once again
with roughly a five to ten second delay?
Well, that will improve with time, upgrades and feedback from we users.
A huge step in the right direction.
I'll turn sixty-two in October.
So, I wished that we had this type of technology a long time ago. LOL.
So, can't wait for those who can answer my questions of curiosity from a new
user.
Many thanks once again.
Ron

OK, personally I wouldn’t use them in rain or snow. My New England weather and electronics don’t play nice together. On the rear of the right arm is an exposed USB port. I use a rubber plug to cover it to prevent sweat from getting in. Those USB-C plugs are cheap insurance. They should do well with reading the screens of exercise equipment. I am not holding my breath for facial recognition. I think once the “privacy” nuts hear about that it will quickly disappear. Scene description will use less battery life than Live AI mode. You may want to ask a mobility instructor what they think of using the glasses to navigate. I am skeptical that the Live AI will update quicker enough to notify you of obstructions jumping in you way of your wheelchair.

Hi TO Ron IN THE STATE OF Pensylvania FROM Monte IN THE PROVINCE OF saSKATCHEWAN. Yes, TRUMP WANTS saSKATCHEWAN
ALONG WITH THE REST OF Canada, BUT HE AIN'T GOIN TO GET IT.

Ron, I THINK THE ECHOVISION GLASSES WILL WORK FAIRLY WELL WITH DIGITAL DISPLAYS ON EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.
The ONE THING TO NOTE IS THAT IF THE DISPLAY IS REFRESHING OFTEN AND RAPIDLY, THERE COULD BE A SLIGHT LAG PERIOD BETWEEN WHAT THE GLASSES SEE AND WHAT IS REPORTED.
IF THE DISPLAY IS FAIRLY CONSTANT AS IN CHANGING ONLY EVERY FEW SECONDS, IT SHOULD WORK FINE.

I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE TO BASE THIS STATEMENTON.

If YOU WANT THIS DISPLAY TO BE LIVE, IT WILL BE USING THE BATTERY RESERVE MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN TAKING PICTURES.

THIS IS WHERE YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE YOUR ECHOVISION GLASSES ATTACHED TO A POWER PACK SO THEY ARE CHARGING AS YOU WEAR THEM.

PS, DON'T SWEAT IT.

Cheers,


Monte Single
