There is a company out of Israel that makes a pair of glasses called
Orcam. These glasses detect objects and even recognize faces. I read
about it last year. www.orcam.com

Wonder if they'll be showing them at CSUN. I'd go just to see that. Guess
it's in San Diego next year. Yep, love that place. :)

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.
