POPULARITY
In dieser Episode lässt Christian die aus seiner Sicht interessantesten Entwicklungen und Trends der Sightcity Revue passieren. Allerdings teils ergänzt um das, was in den Interviews noch nicht drin war — Rückmeldungen von Hörerinnen und Hörern, Ergänzungen, Berichtigungen oder Meinungen. Durch Kapitelmarken können die folgenden Abschnitte mit folgenden Inhalten angesprungen werden: 1. allgemeines zur Sightcity (neuer Veranstaltungsort, allgemeine Eindrücke, CD im BIT verfügt teilweise über Interviews mit alternativer besser verständlicher Tonspur) 2. Braillezeilen (Helptech Activator mit Ergänzungen zur Tastatur und Preis, schnell veraltete Notizgeräte, weitere Braillezeilen mit Normaltastatur, Brailliant mit Sprachausgabe, neuer Händler für Brailliant, Zukunft der Focus Braillezeilen, keine 80 stelligen Zeilen von Humanware mehr, Vario Pro 2 und 480, Berichtigungen und Ergänzungen zum Gaudio-Book, Optima und Gedanken zu Kombinationen aus Braillezeile und Laptop, Braillesense 6 mit Update, Polaris geht leer aus) 3. Braille-Flächendisplays (Dotpad, Monarch, Firma 4Blind hat gefehlt, was machen die fränkischen Alternativen von Inventivio und Dr. Greiner? Tactonom) 4. Tastaturen (Help 2 Type, Mykey, Hable One jetzt mit App, Rivo 3 versus Senseplayer) 5. Vorlesen lassen (Orcam Read, Hype um Envision Glasses, Voxi Vision kann auch Texte übersetzen, Harc Reader bei verschiedenen Firmen erhältlich) 6. Lesegeräte für Sehbehinderte (Clover Note, bessere Kontraste in den 8-Zoll-Lupen von Opteelec und EV Optron, unüberschaubare Möglichkeiten für die Schule, Zoomcam hat ohne Software Vorteile) 7. Telefone (Blindshell, was macht Lucia? Minivision, Smartvision 3 ohne Update auf neuere Android-Versionen, Kapten-App zur Navigation) 8. Navigationsgeräte (Stellar Trek, bis zu vier Navigationsgeräte mit Tastatur könnte es in Zukunft geben) 9. Blindenlangstöcke (Stock mit Stoßdämpfer, Ambutech stabil aber schwer, nichts neues vom All Terrain Cane, interessantes Zubehör für IO und nochmals Beschreibung von Geo Loop) 10. Hinderniswarner (App aber Iphone muss um den Hals gehängt werden, Rango sehr sympatisch, Highlight aber sicher Biped) 11. Daisyplayer (Senseplayer interessant aber kein Händler in Sicht, Testberichte sind in einem Podcast zu finden, Stream mit fest verbauter Batterie, I-Speak jetzt mit Speicheranschluss) 12. Sonstiges (Farberkennungsgeräte Fame und neu Colorstar Pro, ein paar Worte zur Energrit Powerbank) 13. In eigener Sache (was bei Sightviews geplant ist)
Ambutech zeigt eine 360-Grad-Drehspitze für Blindenstöcke. Sie lässt sich nicht nur horizontal drehen, sondern auch vertikal. Dazu ist die Kugel halbiert und somit können sich die linke und die rechte Hälfte nochmals auch vertikal drehen. Geeignet soll die Spitze für schnelles gehen oder gar Skateboarden sein. Außerdem stellt Ambutech seinen neuen Stock mit im Griff integrierten Stoßdämpfer vor.
"In this third episode covering the unemployment story for blind Canadians, the Triple Vision team speaks with city of Winnipeg Council Member Ross Eadie. We start by going all of the way back to Episode 5, called “Cane and Ableism,” when we spoke with Gord Hudek of Ambutech Corporation. Gord told us a fascinating anecdote about when he wanted to hire a individual who was blind in his factory. He was told by the CNIB that the workplace presented some safety concerns and that the person should probably not be hired. Peter asks Ross about this, as well as his life as a City of Winnipeg municipal Council Member - all to continue our exploration of the question, ""Why is the unemployment rate so high for Canadians who are blind, deaf blind, and partially sighted?” “The City of Winnipeg takes accessibility overall quite seriously, actually. Sometimes it may not seem like that but if you look at our transit system and you look at our streets system, tell me any major city in this country right now, give me a major city, that has every signalized intersection outfitted with an audible signal. Every intersection Isn't perfect, but every intersection has that.… My wish is that we could find more employers, and this would really help the whole cross-disability perspective, more employers who would consider positions that are more specialized that could be filled.… Again, I still don't know to what engineer I need to refer to, to get someone to look at Ambutech's actual workplace and not see why not to employ a person who is blind, but look at how to employ somebody who is blind in that workplace.” " --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-best9/message

In this episode we talk to Gordon Hudek from AmbuTech about the iGlasses. These are a head-mounted, ultrasonic Mobility Aid that enable a more informed, confident, and efficient pedestrian travel. Objects in your path are detected by the ultrasonic sensors and communicated via gentle vibrations. As obstacles get nearer the frequency of the vibration will increase. The device is intended as a secondary mobility device to complement the traditional long cane or guide dog.
