i went off to search into a net and found this site about the device or eye wear called eSight for the visual impaired. Not sure how viable this type of device. Any comment, suggestion, or experience with this tool. Thanks.

http://www.esighteyewear.com/learn-more/how-does-esight-work Seems it is basically an "augmented reality" device, preprocessing the images before they get to the eyes. I guess it could be useful in some cases of low vision -not sure of how many that would be - but it doesn't sound like a huge breakthrough nor willt it do miracles like "letting the blind actually see" as their website says... -- Patrick Le 24/04/2016 à 00:55, Robert Mendoza a écrit :

Patrick, indeed that you are right. But, for the low vision
sighted person like mine could allow to have a chance to see again
however, there service is just mainly cover in the Canada and USA
only. But, i guess it would take place to extend there service or
shipped out to other country as well specially here in the Asian
part. Though, they mentioned that I could book with them by
visiting their office in Canada. Hmm. wish I could have a chance
to go there but kinda expensive and would need viable docs to provide them. Robert Mendoza On 5/1/2016 4:47 AM, Patrick Le Baudour

I have not tried eSight myself. However, I have talked to several people who have. They told me the device was mediocre. One thing they told me that I hadn't thought of was the fact that at high magnification, the image can get very "Shaky". This made perfect sense to me once I was told, but I hadn't thought of it. In addition, it's very expensive for what it is. Essentially the hardware is very similar to a smartphone in a VR headset. https://www.oculus.com/gear-vr/?locale=en_US
So from my very limited observation, the hardware is nothing groundbreaking. But these are second hand accounts. Each person might have a different experience, so please don't let this post discourage you from trying it. |
