There's only two buttons on the glasses, the power button and the button on the top to activate voice commands. The user interface is great. You're just swiping back and forth and then double tapping on what you want.
Hey Carrie Paul here keep up the good work I think I will stick to the Ray-Ban smart glasses specially with the new Be My Eyes feature I think it's amazing invasion is a little too expensive keep up the good work love your show take care 2:47
Hey Carrie Paul here again thanks for replying to my last comment keep up the good work by the way I'm in San Antonio Texas if there's anything I can do for you let me know I have a connection here with accessibility and technology arsenal I'll people at the lighthouse for the blind here in San Antonio have a great day
@pablocantu8710 thanks Paul! That's pretty neat. Do you work at the lighthouse? If there's ever anything that anyone needs over there let me know. Always looking for devices to try out too. 😉
Hey Carrie thanks for the quick reply by the way I am a manager at Texas Department of corrections here in San Antonio Texas I do fending for a living with a BEP program don't know if you are familiar with this it is a great program technology comes in handy take care
Carrie excellent interview. I really have doubts that Envision are using their own AI as they claim. Keeping up your own language model and AI info requires significant processing power, which requires money. All of which I have doubts that the company have in copious amounts.
Ah. Well, I can't say neither here nor there for that. I can only give them a platform to say what they will. haha. We can all wonder in the background though. ;)
I have the Envision glasses and am using ally on them this takes assistive technology to new heights and I’ve gotten an update every week since the ally beta was released to me for the Envision glasses
Interesting. I still have the envision bar code scanner, that I add my own description of a thing if the barcode isn't in the library since maybe 2003. Occasionally I still take that with me, if I feel like my phone apps are just not going to work because of some interference in a store or something. It is about the size of a cinder block. Just a little bit narrower. The great thing is , the batteries are so cheap and easy to change, and it isn't dependent on internet out and about. I could maybe pay to update the current barcodes catalog and there are cards with several gigs available easily now. I know it is a stand alone one job thing. It is nice sometimes to just have a thing that works and is not finicky when you are in the place you need it to work. It will keep telling the entire ingredients and nutritional facts of the chocolate chip Eggo waffles for ten minutes though like megaphone style after you are six aisles away and people can see that you put them in the shopping cart and are buying them regardless of all the contents. It's embarrassing but kind of hilarious at the same time. I think because it takes these long comedic pauses, before continuing on with the each breakdown of the caloric content as though it's announcing what you've won on The Price Is Right! However it does not announce the price, because that is not part of the barcode. So Seeing AI is superior with that. KNFB used to be. I may have said this once before. I think I have. Sorry. Sometimes I get all the way through before I realize I already told about this before. I cannot believe twenty years have happened. Okay more, than twenty years.
I think those barcode scanners are cool! Super pricey, yes, but realy cool. Plus they do so much better of a job finding and reading the bar code. I always find the camera takes so much longer!!
I like the envision app well enough, but I also have some concerns about the glasses. Like, what do they plan to do when they run out of their very limited inventory? That price point is also a very big concern of mine. These glasses just seem doomed to fail to me just like the orcam has.
Hi Carrie, This is Studio Opinions , that is the name of my channel on UA-cam. My question is: Is there an App, that can do what those glasses can do, but without the glasses? Meaning by using just our phone, and not buy the glasses? Thanks for your time. Terry Age 66 from North Florida. Oh, and I have an iPhone.
I never had a Envision glasses to try. From people who I watched on UA-cam who have the glasses I heard they say that glasses are very wide, if person is small or have smaller head, the glasses sit on it awkward and looks awkward too because they are Wider than the head and there is no sizing option. Second problem, people saying it camera position. They comment that a lot of time you have to turn your head to camera being in right position and this offer center camera position is make things more hard in use. Even though in the video, the person said the glasses have even weight distribution, glasses users say the camera part is dragging glasses, a little bit to one side by the weight plus because of camera is pretty visible by design. You may have a little bit weird looks on you from other people. I do believe in second or I mean, I believe in next version of hardware to be more successful, if harder will be more streamline and looking more like usual glasses out sticking part design. I mean as more of these glasses looks like glasses or sunglasses as more flush And hidden camera will be, as more success it will have especially there maybe will be sizing frame option for different size of heads or like some VR glasses like June features with retractable arms or something like that. Overall, we just want to look like any other person And we want to blend in, looking like the alien is fun, but only for a few moments.
I totally agree! I'm looking forward to what's coming down the pipeline and I hope that things like Echo Vision glasses and others will succeed and be better.
Exciting to see how Envision is shaping the future of assistive tech-can't wait to see the impact it has!

Thanks for sharing that with me. It sounds interesting, but the price tag is a bit steep. :)

Hey Paul, I'd probably decide the same as you honestly! Perhaps if they get the Envision app on the meta's... that would be neat.

This was a really great and informative video, Thanks
Thank you so much! :)

How do you like the glasses themselves? How do you like the user interface and buttons? I'm curious to know as I've never tried them.
I am happy that this remedy will be of great use to us, but I am even more happy that an Indian researcher has started researching this remedy.
Yes, pretty neat. :)
Nice job
Thanks
@ you’re welcome

Hmm. Those are some good points.

Yes, they have Envision app for iPhone, it can do all things which glasses can.
Thanks
As mentioned, there is the envision app and there's also seeing AI and other apps that are similar! :)
This Is Studio Opinions again, Just to say Thanks for your time to respond. It was about the Envision App. I will try to look into it. Terry
