A Four-part Demo Of The EchoVision Glasses

[Roger R. Cusson]

Greetings to the list,
I thought I would try my hand at constructing a comprehensive demonstration of what the Agiga EchoVision glasses can do.
Attached to this message, is a zip file, containing four separate functions of the glasses.
There is an Aira call, there is a BeMyEyes call, there is a guided reading mode demo, and there is a demo, concerning scene description, a quick transit direction peace, and a live AI demonstration.
I hope that folks will give me their opinions, and I hope that the folks that hear this will find it useful.

That was great! I just bought mine today!

Tom K.

Hi Roger, thanks for producing your demo.
I was not sure if echovision supported be my eyes and aira. Good news.
I and many other people on the list would like to know what equipment/tech you used to get such good audio?

Thanks,


Monte Single

Hi Roger
What a very comprehensive and impressive demo. Professional quality from your end and very well put together.
I cannot wait until I can get my glasses – I’m in the UK and was a pre-order Customer.
In the reading I noticed one error in the word other that was not pronounced correctly and I think three end of line, possibly hyphenated words but the sense was absolutely perfect. And what a fascinating book!
All the other functions produced extremely good results. I was particularly impress that you were able to look inside your fridge and the glasses did not succumb to Wi-Fi interference which happens with any of the glasses I have tried here.
Again extremely well done and a very useful demo for anyone at all interested in the Agiga EchoVision glasses.
With best wishes.
Dennis Freedman from the UK.

Hi Monte and list members!
I appreciate your question, and comments. I also appreciate folks taking time to listen and provide their opinions about the audio demonstrations.
The audio recorder was your typical zoom H1 Essential, the lavalier microphone was also from Zoom, its model number is, LMF 2. If you try to plug that microphone all the way into the recorders 3.5 mm jack, you will only get the left channel, you have to ease the connector out just a little tiny bit, and you will have both left and right channels, spectacularly.
The audio processing was done with a program, from a podcast company, the Conversations Network.
The piece of software that I use from the Conversations Network, is a program called, Levelator.
Its job is to take all voices, whether it is text-to-speech or human voices from a multiple amount of voice sources, and with the look-ahead compression feature of the Levelator, it is designed to maximize the level to just before it hits 0DB, and, moreover, it is designed to take all voices, and make them sound like they are at the same level, regardless if one person was very loud, and one person was very soft, and one person was more or less in between.
The Levelator is a Windows executable file, and you simply drag and drop the recorded file into it, and away it goes.
I then moved everything into Sound Forge, and added a bit of mastering compression, just to further smooth things out a bit.
I hope that helps and answers your question.

Roger,

I di not make part of my question clear.

I want to know about the mic you attach to the glasses frame to pick up the audio.

You definitely gave lots of details of how you recorded and refined you finished product, but as a
Guy who know next to nothing about bit rates, megahertz, etc.
I'm sure I missed something.

Was the mike really small? Bluetooth?
As in spyware? Ha ha.

Good evening Monty,
Thanks for your comment.
I did explain which microphone by Zoom was being used, and I explained what happens when you plug it into the recorder. Please go back and look for that portion of the message after you hear about the Zoom H one essential, listen for the microphone and that will give you your answer.
