Hi Pete,
Actually, these do sound great. The other thing any Orcam owner could do,
is to clip the Orcam camera onto one of the arms of the glasses. You would
then have instant OCR capabilities as well, and all the features that the My
Eye or My Reader bring.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] bose frames
hi all,
for anyone that was interested in the new bose frame sunglasses i received
mine today and i am very impressed with them.
the sound is amazing, i played a recent movie "cold pursuit" which has
really good surround sound and the bose frames made it sound like you were
in a cinema, i then went into the AR section of the bose connect app and
discovered there are about 12 apps you can download some of which are free
whiles others have in app purchases.
i installed 6 of them of which the main ones that will be of use to me are
Walc spelt with a letter C instead of K, and Naviguide.
Walc is an app to give you relevent information about what is around you and
to guide you to places you want to walk to, while Naviguide appears to be a
full navigation program.
otocast seems to be for guided tours, while Radar is a bose app that
demonstrates the sound capabilities of the frames.
so for example i just activated the beach scene in the radar app and it was
as if you were stood on a beach with the sounds of the waves, people, and a
plain going over.
but where it got clever was if you start turning in a circle it was just as
if you were there, so as you turned the sounds of the waves and such like
went around the back of your head and back round to the front when you
completed the circle.
the one i want to figure out is the Walc app but i would guess that either
it isn't activated on the surver yet as some of the capabilities wern't ment
to go live until July or it will only work when you are out actually walking
as i selected a place not far from my house to walk to but when i tapped on
that place nothing seemed to happen.
i'm certainly impressed with them so far, and the smaller Rondo version i
got fit fine although the ends of the arms feel like they might cause
pressure comfort if warn for a long time, but without a doubt the larger
Alto version would have been to big.
when the smart features of these glasses that will tell you what you are
looking at in stores and museums and such like are activated they will be
extremely useful.
bose have updated their bose connect app to make it compatible with
voiceover and made it much easier to pair and setup devices, previously you
had to select and drag you device to a certain spot on the screen which
didn't work with voiceover but now it couldn't be simpler you just launch
the connect app and then turn the frames on and after a few seconds it shows
that it has found them so you can tap on them to give them a suitable name
for you to recognise them and then they automatically connect from then on.
