So I took a poke through the web site and what it seems to be is a
little camera you clip onto the side of a pair of glasses which also has
a bone-conduction audio thingy that goes against your cheek. It then is
tethered to a small box which has a computer in it. What it claims to do
is recognize a pointing gesture and the camera will read the text where
you are pointing. Examples are pointing to the label on a bottle or a
line of text in a book. They also claim to recognize things in the
environment like the color of a crosswalk sign or faces of people you
have trained it on. To train it you wave your hand in front of the
camera and then give it a description. They say they made 100 units @
$2500 each and sold out. They expect another 500 to be ready and sold by
the end of the year. All the reviews I could find seemed to be people
excited about what this 'should' do but none of them seemed to actually
have used the device. It's a ways out but I would expect them to make a
showing at CSUN next March so folks can really try it. Could be amazing,
could be snake oil.
