Hi everyone, Yuma from oseyeris here. Before I head off to see 5 astrophysics phds from my uni to discuss everything about space, stars galaxies and of course, Astreos, I wanted to give y'all a heads-up on something else.
As we are a hardware/software for (currently for mac/IOS) crew that tackles all sorts of things that tends to complicate our lives as blind individuals who either have active lifestyles, go to uni, want to create or do things sighted people do, we have been awarded the prestigious Dyson award for the national competition in Australia for our Macaron, the universal access smart tape measure. i wish I could send everyone a unit so you can feel it in your hands, play with the magnets that attach things together and make the process of measuring an amazing one, play with the app, etc. And I wish you could compare it with some previous prototypes we worked on just to see how cool it is now, but for the moment I invite you to have a read at the process and the journey in getting there. link is below: https://www.oseyeris.com/post/macaron-wins-australian-national-james-dyson-award-led-by-qut-and-uq-students <https://www.oseyeris.com/post/macaron-wins-australian-national-james-dyson-award-led-by-qut-and-uq-students> We're being featured everywhere here down South, here are some links: https://www.itwire.com/development/84333-james-dyson-award-s-australian-winner-measures-up-successfully,-as-do-two-great-runners-up.html <https://www.itwire.com/development/84333-james-dyson-award-s-australian-winner-measures-up-successfully,-as-do-two-great-runners-up.html> https://newatlas.com/macaron-measuring-tape/56213/ <https://newatlas.com/macaron-measuring-tape/56213/> And here's a radio appearance during rush hour from 4RBC: https://www.4bc.com.au/podcast/qut-team-wins-james-dyson-award/ <https://www.4bc.com.au/podcast/qut-team-wins-james-dyson-award/> Just wanted to share the excitement we have within our team for this, and I would like to invite you to Like our Facebook page below to keep up with what we have coming through, including an "efficiently accessible" Trello desktop app, more 3D tutorial podcasts with a better format, a free music sampling and mixing tool, and much more. https://www.facebook.com/OSeyerisVIP/ <https://www.facebook.com/OSeyerisVIP/> Keep your ears peeled for the next update of Astreos due within days.
