Not sure how much vision if any you have to have in order for the sonar glasses
to work. My understanding of the article was that there was a sensor in the
glasses that would communicate to the person wearing them if there were a tree
limb or something hanging down that might hit the cane user in the head. We'll
have to wait till the invention is actually up and running, I suppose.
Like you, I'm eagerly awaiting the invention of indoor GPS. I was in an
experiment four or five years ago at Stanford which sought to determine how good
GPS equipment could navigate insides of buildings. My friend Gina was also with
me during this experiment, and my mom drove both of us. Neither of us were
impressed. We got everything right on the outside experiments but had a tough
time with the inside experiments.

I don't know if I could use those glasses. I have plastic guys so I don't know
if they would help me any. But I'm sure intrigued by that Cain that has GPS. I
hope it comes out soon that would be totally awesome. The other thing I wish
they would work on it so that satellite woodwork inside a building so you could
learn hell of building is laid out. That would be totally cool. It really would.
Well I thought I lost my bursa Kivik it but I found it. Yeah and I'm glad to I'm
just waiting for the other certificate to come. I went to church to get my mail
red and the air conditioning in that building doesn't work and it was hot as
heck in there. The one room we were in had air-conditioning but it was hard to
tell. I was sure glad to come home to my air-conditioned apartment. Oh man it
was disgusting humid and everything. But I got my mail read and I sent the wrong
paperwork to motor vehicles. So I'm going to wait and see. Maybe when I go to
Social Security I'll ask him for another
copy of my SSI award letter and take it up there with a copy of my application
that I filled out already. But I don't know. Once I'm off SSI after I get my
dad's benefits I guess they'll charge me more for the next license oh no they
won't either. My next drunk night nondrivers license will be free because once
you're 62 and over you don't have to pay anything. And I think that's totally
awesome. But anyway I'm considering getting the Bard app but I was just afraid I
would run out of space on my phone.

I had a similar pair of glasses years ago. I found that I didn't
really need them because I have light perception and I was able to
avoid most low hanging objects.

this is interesting and affordable. the cost for a pair is $145 and
you can buy a damage and loss waiver for $10 per month with a $50
charge if your glasses are lost or stolen. they come with a pair of
lithium batteries and a charger. they are also available with dark,
clear, photosensitive or prescription lenses. as I am so tired of
all the limbs I run into walking I am six foot tall and most of the
trees on my nearby sidewalks are hanging to about 5 foot it would be nice.
I think I would find these better than the knfb reader for me.

FYI
Sonar Glasses Now Available
SONAR GLASSES, by G-Technology Group, are a new assistive tool
designed to increase mobility independence for blind and visually
impaired people. The glasses complement the white cane by providing
information regarding the location of nearby objects above waist
level within 6 feet of the user (e.g.
tree limbs, signs, walls, etc.).
The glasses work based on echolocation. The detection range of the
glasses is set to 6 feet, and it can be customized. If an obstacle
is detected, a subtle vibration in the temple warns the user of the
nearby object. If the object is closer than 3 feet, the vibration
intensity increases.
Glasses are available with clear or dark lenses. The glasses have
100% UV protection. Prescription lenses and photosensitive lenses
are also available. The glasses are shipped with a head strap,
battery charger, and two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The
glasses are made in the USA and are backed with an unconditional
1-year warranty and satisfaction guarantee.
For more information, contact Jeff Shad, G-Technology Group, at
(571) 297-4756, or via e-mail, jshad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You may
