Hi Jackie,
Yes, think buzz clip or Ray, but much more advanced. I say more advanced,
because it has a phone app as well.
You don't need the phone app to use it, but if you do use it with the phone
app, then you can adjust things like the intensitiy of vibrate, you can use
the compass built into it, you can tell the time with it, which you can't do
with the others, you can use Google Maps with it, and have it vibrate when
instructions are read on the phone, and on and on. You can even adjust
ranges and set them in feet or meters.
I suggest looking at the tutorials, just to get a flavour of what you can do
with it, but it's awesome.
It's the best ultrasonic torch type device I have ever come across.
All the best
Steve

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, 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
the other way was by train, but from Herefordshire that is very difficult
from here.
In the past we have driven over to my wife sisters in Coventry and gottrain from there into Birmingham and then got a taxi to the Sight Village
the
venue.
I suppose the problem is living out here in the wilds of Herefordshirenear to the Welsh boarders.
and
Well, maybe next year I will be able to manage some how to get tovillage by staying in a hotel near by.

Hi,
Thanks for all the emails that I have received so far with varying
about 10 years time those manufacturers that are around today making specialBut I would like to take things further by saying that I think
within
devises for us who are blind or short sighted will not be around, because so
many more things will be on the open market.
see things may even be be on sale at places like Specsavers or Boots!!Also by then, or soon after, glasses with a camera which can help
us to
machines, especially those that will interface fully with mainstreamThe only specialists manufacturers left will be those who make
braille
devises.
Al1000 and an up to date tablet for about Al500, with a total cost of aboutFor example, you can today buy a braille notetaker for about Al900
to
Al1500. Or instead you can lay out Al4000 for a specially manufactured
braille devise with built in screen, which is based on the old Android
systems which cannot be updated! I know which system I would prefer!
