Hi,
The device I was talking about is the SunuBand, http://www.sunu.io. I
bought one and I love it.
It is like the Mini Guide, or Ray, but you wear it on your wrist.
I also saw Andre Louis, an excellent musician, demonstrating Native
Instruments Komplete Kontrol, which is an accessible keyboard which, using a
computer, you can make the whole keyboard speak, from selecting instruments,
to editing parameters.
That's definitely on my shopping list.
So no John, I disagree that most of the stuff at Sight Village was for VI
only this time, I saw some great new tech this year. I also saw WeWalk,
http://www.wewalk.io, which is a smart cane that links to your phone.
Anyway, our podcast is at http://www.ourplace-podcast.info and I summarised
it in about 11 minutes.
I was really lucky this year, that the second day was quieter, so I could go
look round a bit.
All the best
Steve
It links to an app on your phone and has many functions, compass, time,
alarms that vibrate, but its prime function is to give haptic feedback of
when you are approaching objects.

hi david i was going to go but because of the heat and the difficulty with
the trains i gave it a miss sadly. i woder if the nav trace has had it's
updates yet. i would have liked to have seen that device but again coming
down from leeds changing at birmingham and getting to the venue was too much
for me. also, i do find the venues rather noisey and busy and i must admit
for a totally blind persons these days a lot of the stuff seems to be for
people who have some vision which is great for them of course. techie is
moving so very fast now and it's good to see which new devices are coming on
the market. i really wish we had a good android satnav app i have just heard
steve's sight village podcast very interesting about his new device i think
you wear it on your wrist and it helps with mobility.
i have not heard much at all though about the event of course some great
offers with jaws were available.

Hi John,
Thanks for the email!!
To start I am deaf/blind, so I am dependent on my wife who is sighted and
In the past we have driven over to my wife sisters in Coventry and got thetrain from there into Birmingham and then got a taxi to the Sight Village
I suppose the problem is living out here in the wilds of Herefordshire andnear to the Welsh boarders.
Well, maybe next year I will be able to manage some how to get to Sightvillage by staying in a hotel near by.
David.to know how a venue can possibly not be accessible by car or train as you
