Hello all,

So for the echo vision glasses
Do you have to have some sort of subscription in order to use them?
Also, do you have to ask them questions in order to get them to respond?
As the Meta glasses have not been helpful to me at all.
 Hit and miss when trying to read something with the meta glasses and have to ask questions.
The only thing the Meta glasses are good for is hands-free and when I’m on the phone and Be My Eyes.
I’m sorry I’m comparing apples to oranges.
I just want to make sure I’m not gonna be wasting my money.
So if someone could tell me all about these echo vision glasses.
The pros and cons.
Also I don’t understand about this hotspot thing either.
Also, is there gonna be a newer version of the glasses released?
And what is the cost of these glasses?
Thanks for reading regarding this matter.

EchoVision is created by the blind for the blind. There is live AI mode that explains your surroundings to you. You can also ask further questions if needed. It will read as well. You can ask questions like, find the elevator or where is the door where is a trash can and other questions to help you.  You can also use Be My Eyes or Aira also. These glasses are the best thing to hit the market for blind and visually impaired. In my opinion, I highly recommend. As far as the subscription goes, there is a subscription. The hotspot is for live AI mode for when WiFi is not available. Without WiFi or hotspot, you can still use the glasses but not for live AI. They also pair with your phone so you can make and receive phone calls. They will also pair with hearing aids and ear buds. Oh yea forgot to mention there is a face recognition feature! I’m excited about that feature. I hope I answered most of your questions.

Do the glasses come with the storing case?
How about a charging cord?
For example, the charging cord did not come with the Meta glasses.
So I’ve been having to use my iPhone charging cord in order to keep the case charged.

Hi DJ,

 

I have ordered the glasses and have a question regarding using Live AI.  Will the live AI work if I have the glasses paired with my iphone and the app and I am using cellular data (not on wifi or a hotspot)?

 

Thanks,

Niles Searls

Yes, the glasses come with a charging case or you can use a USB-C cable to charge the glasses without the case.

I am not DJ, but it’s not the iPhone which needs to be connected to a hotspot, it’s the iPhone which becomes the hotspot for the glasses to connect to when you are not in range of your home and/or work Wi-Fi.

In other words, yes, the glasses work when your iPhone is getting an internet connection via cellular data and you have turned on the personal hotspot feature on your iPhone and connected the glasses to that.

 

Best regards,

Sieghard

Jenny, I am not sure if you'll get a USB-C cable with the glasses, I assume you probably may, but I doubt a wall adapter is included.
Given that the USB-C form factor is very much the current and future standard for charging and data transfer, I highly recommend to invest the relatively small amount it takes to pick up a few USB-C cables on Amazon. Personally I have quite a few from a short 6 inches which is great if you want to connect an iPhone to an external battery, to 2 feet, 3 feet and 6 feet. You should make sure they are capable of at least 100 Watts power delivery in case you want to use the cable to charge a laptop now or in the future.
And another item which is very useful these days is either a travel-sized or desktop USB-C charger. The travel size versions are basically like the old USB wall adapters which came with iPhones many years ago except you can get them with 1, 2, 3 or even 4 ports. If they have multiple ports, e.g. 3 ports, you typically have 1 old-style USB-A plug for the regular large USB plugs and then you have 2 USB-C plugs. I recommend Anker as a brand, but UGreen and other brands also make good ones. Again, make sure that the charger can deliver at least 100 Watts of power, 140 is even better because this means you typically get 100 Watts from 1 of the USB-C ports and the remaining 40 Watts can be delivered from the other 2 ports. This allows you to fast charge pretty much any Windows laptop these days, as far as I know only newer Mac laptops can fast charge at 140 Watts, most Windows laptops actually use 65 Watts. The travel chargers are about the size of a deck of cards or an old cassette tape, but more square than rectangular and thicker, they are also quite heavy and you want to make absolutely sure they use GaN technology. That stands for Gallium Nitrate and it basically means that a relatively small charger can deliver a lot of power and do so without overheating. This is also what makes them so heavy. The one thing I don't like about many of these travel chargers is the fact that they typically have a folding prong which you fold out to plug it into the wall, but it's usually on the narrow side and especially in hotels you sometimes have outlets where the receptacle is maybe a bit worn out and because of the weight they sometimes don't stay plugged in very well.
If you opt for a desktop charger, you can get many with 4 or even 6 USB plugs, again, typically 1 or 2 are USB-A, the rest are USB-C and here Anker makes a 200 Watt model and even a 240 Watt model and I have seen other brands which can deliver up to 500 Watts, but for most people that is overkill. The form factor here is basically a small box, kind of like an Appl TV with the USB-ports in the front and in the back a regular power cable connects which you plug into the wall. Think of it a little bit like a small square power bar. These often way at least a pound or maybe even a bit more and while they are small and you could bring them along in a backpack or suitcase when traveklling, they are more designed as something you set up in a convenient place in your home and then leave it there.
Often nowadays regular power bars also have a couple of USB ports, but they are typically not delivering all that much power, certainly enough for charging Ray-Ban Meta glasses or the EchoVision glasses, headsets, keyboards, Bluetooth speakers and other accessories and they may deliver 15 or even 25 Watts which means they would do a reasonably good job charging an iPhone, but they would not be suitable for charging a laptop. I always recommend a dedicated GaN charger whether travel or desktop format. Both the USB-C cables and the power adapters/chargers are pretty much one-time investments which will serve you for many years to come and with USB-C you never have to worry about plugging something into the wrong port because even if you plug a headset which can charge at a maximum of 5 Watts into a 140 Watt capable USB-port on such a charger, the headset will only draw what it can take. Sort of like filling a bottle with a small opening from a fire hose, you'll spill a lot of water, but only what can fit through the small bottle opening will go into the bottle. And as I said, the USB-C standard is here to stay at least for the foreseeable future and pretty much any device these days and certainly future devices will use USB-C charging. This is also the reason why so often nowadays no cable and certainly no wall adapter are included when you buy an accessory. To a large extend the European Union is what forced companies including finally Apple to switch to USB-C because it means there will be a lot less proprietary cables and in turn this means a lot less waste. As far as I am concerned, I'd be perfectly happy if I never received another headset, speaker, keyboard or anything else which has a cable in the box. Usually these are cheap cables which will only deliver lower wattage and I'd much rather have my 3 or 4 cables permanently plugged into my desktop charger whichg can charge anything from my laptop to my headset or keyboard.

They use Bluetooth and hotspot, audio and I assume video when doing an Aira or Be My eyes call is transmitted via Bluetooth, but the connectivity to the internet is via the connection to the phone’s personal hotspot.

I am sure somebody from EchoVision will correct me if this is not correct, but that is how I understand it.

There are lots of great responses to your questions here.  Just as an FYI there is an AGIGA AI support chatbot @ 650-889-5119.  I've found it very good at getting quick and decent answers to most questions about the EchoVision glasses.  If you would like quick turnaround on getting answers to your questions I'd recommend giving it a try.

Tom.

I’m fairly certain, but I’ll get clarification from others, that all of the contacts with Air and Be My Eyes are handled on the glasses over the wi-fi connection. Bluetooth doesn’t have the bandwidth for reliable video, as evidenced by Whatsapp connections on the Meta glasses going into “Poor connection” warnings when doing video calls. It’s easy wnough to check this out, and I will. 

akeep those cards and letters coming. And if you’re seeing a problem and report it, please send us the diagnostic logging as detailed in another message. Since it seems everyone is experiencing different problems, we can use all the information we can get, especially in cases where we aren’t reproducing the reported problems. 

Thanks y’all,

Hi,

Yes, your understanding is correct: EchoVision relies on a wi-fi connection, whether a regular one or a mobile hotspot from a phone or dedicated cellular capable access point/router. We will be implementing bluetooth connections in a future release, although I’ll tell you now that wi-fi is a much more reliable way to send video. More bandwidth is the main reason for this; bluetooth’s capacity is pretty low in comparison.

Hi,

You’ll absolutely get a USB-C cable. Actually, it’s one with a 90-degree end to plug into the EchoVision case. Right angle cables are great because they’ll generally put less strain on the connector as the cable is bend while you’re holding your device. For the past several years, whenever I buy cables, I buy this type. For the case, the right angle cable will make it much easier to store the case in a bag or pocket or what have you as the cable is no longer sticking out, making for very compact storage. 

It is also true that you won’t get a charging brick. However, likely as not, you already have one. If you don’t, they’re pretty inexpensive. I got a couple of nice ones, for example, that have both USB-A and USB-C sockets on them, and considerably less than $20 each. Happy to dig up a link for people who are interested.

Hi buddy,

So is there gonna be an upgraded version to the glasses?
So they will have more features?
As with the meta glasses when I point an envelope toward the glasses, it will say it appears there’s no text in the image, even when I have the light on.
However, I will need to know the cost of the glasses with the new features cause I wouldn’t wanna get new glasses and find out that there’s difficulty when using them.
And I also wouldn’t wanna get glasses that are still in bata testing either.
I think I’m explaining it properly.
Also, if I were to get the glasses.
Can the software be updated so we all have the latest and greatest feature so we don’t have to get a new pair of glasses each time?
Is that could be very costly in order to have the latest and greatest features.
Thanks for reading regarding this matter.

Hi,

The final hardware will be similar to the Pioneers hardware, except with a larger battery. The issues are  software related, and software will be continually updated. That means you can definitely expect improvements in OCR, scene descriptions, etc., not to mention additional features prioritized based on user feedback.

Will the new version of glasses have two cameras on them?
So it would be easier to read text?
As when I’m pointing the envelope or what have you toward my face and I have it like between you know like where the glasses fit over your eyes.
 So like stay for example if I point an envelope toward my face, will the glasses still read however I have the envelope facing whether left to right or up and down?
What would be cool if I could go somewhere like well I could have a demonstration of the new glasses Maybe with luck a training company I work with I don’t work for them. The person comes to my house maybe they would give me a demo as to how the glasses work.

hi,
The mail app on your iPhone allows you to do things like send certain messages immediately to the delete box. You can do it by sender, subject line, etc. It's pretty involved set up a rule, but if you want to, you can have the line immediate indication that this message is something I don't want to read and send it directly to your deleted messages. to do this, is a little bit complicated so you may have to look up all the way you have to do that online. Involves to answer in an email on how to do it.

How long is the warranty when the new ones get released?
How about the trial like where you get it for? I think I should at least be at the most three months to make sure people get lots of practice out of them and not like just one or two months.
Just a thought.

Hi,

Playground monitor hat on…

Y’all, please be mindful of subject lines, and please try to make the subject lines match the topic of your message. Yes, I’m as guilty as anyone of not being as careful about it as I should be.

I’m not really working today. Honest.

But here’s a link to the charger I bought. While you maybe don’t need four ports, this one does have two of each kind, so you can use USB-A or USB-C cables, either will work. Here’s a link:


There are several different color choices. Of course, being amazon, several similar ones are listed as well.

As to charge cables, as I mentioned before, one will ship with EchoVision, and even better, it’s a right angle cable, which means that rather than sticking out from the bottom of your case, the cable runs at a 90 degree angle so runs parallel to the side of the device it’s plugged into. When I buy cables, I always look for right angle connectors. Anker sells some, Titan Cables are also pretty good, and I’ve seen some on Ebay. But here is an example of the kind of cable I mean, on Amazon:


I don’t have experience with this particular brand or model, but it should give you an idea of what to look for. 

Hope this helps.

I'll admit that I'm guilty to of not being careful about subjects and message content matching. Anyway, what I'm most interested in is one of those battery packs that you wear around your neck. Are there any that Agiga has found to work well with the EchoVision glasses? Preferably on Amazon but not absolutely necessary. I'll go where ever I need to to buy it if necessary.

Thanks!

You can ask questions like, find the elevator or where is the door where is a trash can and other questions to help you. You can also use Be My Eyes or Aira also. These glasses are the best thing to hit the market for blind and visually impaired. In my opinion, I highly recommend. As far as the subscription goes, there is a subscription. The hotspot is for live AI mode for when WiFi is not available. Without WiFi or hotspot, you can still use the glasses but not for live AI. They also pair with your phone so you can make and receive phone calls. They will also pair with hearing aids and ear buds. Oh yea forgot to mention there is a face recognition feature! I’m excited about that feature. I hope I answered most of your questions.

Hi, 
Thank you for clarifying the doubt on the use of hot spots. 
May I ask you when you intend to open up to the global market and to Europe? 
Thank you in advance for any response.

Hi,

Cameras: The final version will, as the Pioneers edition has, only have one camera. That camera is on the right side of the glasses in a landscape orientation. Landscape orientation is when the long side of the picture is at the top and bottom, whereas the orientation of Meta glasses and perhaps some others is portrait, with the short sides at the top and bottom. Landscape orientation means that the glasses will capture a larger area to either side than the camera would do in portrait orientation, up to 50% more than Meta. It’s possible that a two camera system as some glasses apparently have, those being higher end glasses as well, could help us, given that one could get two separate images that, one supposes, could be combined or somehow parsed for a lot more detail. However, and I don’t have any hard data on this, but I’m sure someone does, I suspect that this would be a fairly expensive process. Not just in the matter of increasing hardware costs, but also expensive in CPU cycles as the AI manages more tasks, like combining photos for example, higher bandwidth requirements because of larger files, and so on. These limitations may be only temporary though, but projecting what “temporary” means leads into a lot of speculation. Well, a lot *more* speculation, anyway. 

Warranty and return/trial periods: I believe the standard warranty would be one year from time of purchase. Currently, the return period is 30 days from purchase if you want a refund, but all details, including these and AI subscription costs and terms, will be finalized at a time closer to launch of the final retail product.

Hope this helps.
