Hi Mike,
To be honest though, the Android app needs a little spit and polish, but I'm on
the case.
I wear it on my left hand as I have my cane in the right, but I can actually
walk through a door without touching the frame, just using the vibrations.
Love it.
All the best
Steve

Hi,
Just the one is needed. I have it on my right as that allows you to sweep as
you swipe with your cane. The sonar works well, as the band vibrates from low
pulses to constantly as you sweep across an obstacle. I was able to pick out
the edge of an open door, and locate it exactly to close it, and not rearrange
my forehead for the Nth time! Likewise the sonar works similar in relation to
distance. It detected our headboard, wich is about 6 inches off the wall behind
it. Takes a bit of using to maximise it, but does give you an idea of what’s
around your environment. Also links to Google maps for navigation. As you sweep
around, it also gives points of interest in your area when activated

Hi
Do you only need to wear one of these or can you pair multiple bands if you
want to wear more than one for instance one on your left and right wrist?

Hi,
Yes, it is an excellent device and I've only been using it less than a week.
I echo all you say Mike.

Hi,
The price on-line is $299. I have found that ordering these in from
the States, by the time delivery and import Tax is added, they run in
around £299. This is dependant on current exchange rates.
I have to say that I have been using one for the last 3 months and
have found it invaluable as a supplementary mobility aid along with
either a long cane or when I am out with my guide dog. I find it
exceptional for locating pedestrian crossing poles, as I found this a
real pain when crossing and I wasn't right beside the pole. The
indoor and outdoor options give a vast range of detection, outdoors
up to 16 feet. Both indoor and outdoor can be adjusted to suit your
specific needs. The app also has a find my phone function, which
causes your phone to alarm and vibrate. I have been working with the
developers and providing feedback over the past months to help
develop the app and give any additional ideas for both personal and use in a
work environment.
Kindest,
Mike

Hi Steve
Would you mind telling us a bit more about Sunu Band from your
perspective as a totally blind wearer. I've had a quick look using
the link you provided below, but is it just like something you wear
on your wrist that vibrates when you come up against obstacles in
the same way BuzzClip or Ray does?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi,
The device I was talking about is the SunuBand,
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sunu.io&data=02%7C01%7C%7C4a837365109148fbd08c08d5eb60eae3%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636673723839108973&sdata=yEJIW4wUqxp7%2BLqOLiruxAtVwRZicmpdmKvNfiAILro%3D&reserved=0.
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,

I was really lucky this year, that the second day was quieter, so I
could go look round a bit.

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.
