Hi Pete,
I hadn't really thought of that, but you're right.
And as I say, if you clipped the Orcam onto one of the arms, you'd have a
very powerful combination.
It's a shame they are not multipoint, then you could link the Orcam and your
phone to them.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Re: bose frames
hi Steve,
i wouldn't have paid this price if i wanted them for listening to music and
such like, but i've bought them for their smart feature potential, ie the
idea of being able to go into shops, and places of interest and them being
able to know what you are looking at and start telling you about it.
one of the apps i installed was called Otocast which for example has lots of
guides in it to galories, museums, and hotels.
admittedly lots of them are in the states but of courswe the frames have
been out over there since January but there are some in other countries
including the odd few in the UK.
can you imagine if bose expand it as much as they think they can, meaning
in the future you could walk into a train station, airport and such like and
the glasses would start talking to you telling you which direction to turn
for the different facilities , platforms and much more.
as well as using gps from your phone and the gyroscopes built into the
glasses it uses a technology similar to near field communication to receive
information to pass on to you.
so for example i found a demo a few months ago of someone in America and
when they were walking down the street and stopped outside a restaurant they
looked towards the restaurant and double tapped on the right arm of the
glasses with one finger and the frames told them what the restaurant was
called and what their special of the day was and how much it cost.
i'm sure it's going to take some time to get to that stage but when it does
it will be brilliant for visually impared people and they didn't even have
us in mind when they created them.
