Over the weekend, a few teenagers with visual impairments wore IrisVision goggles from Virgin Media and experienced a football match in a new way. T-Mobile suffered a hacking job that exposed millions of users' data and the steps they are providing to fix the problem are both good and not enough. Mastercard announced worldwide plans to shift away from using magnetic strips on credit cards to biometric data by the year 2033. California's Prop 22 is making news again as a federal court judge has ruled the previously voted on and approved proposition as unconstitutional.

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Today's big idea is the power of virtual reality - how people are using VR to remap sight and help people with vision loss in their daily lives Dr. Roberts visits with Grace Andruszkiewicz and Dr. Frank Werblin about how emerging technologies help people with low vision access the areas of vision they still have, by using a virtual reality system. They also talk about how sight works biologically, and how one such device, IrisVision, works to connect people socially.  The Big Takeaways: Virtual reality changes the sensory inputs our brain receives, to change the visual field our eyes are scanning and the sounds we are hearing. These new inputs trick the brain into thinking we're in a different reality.  IrisVision is a combination of a Samsung phone and a headset for virtual reality that modulates the visual field of a person with low vision so they can see better. The technology re-maps the visual world they're seeing so it becomes resonant with their individual pathology. The development of IrisVision technology started as a device to improve macular degeneration, but has evolved to resolve any type of visual pathology (retinal versus cortical), including magnification or “minification” (reducing the size) to modify the visual field depending on the user's visual function.  IrisVision re-mapping provides the brain access to the raw material; after using the device for a few months, users' native vision is often improved, ultimately leading to a renewed social connection for users.  People who use the device need to have some remaining vision.   Tweetables: “What's really meaningful too is helping people go back to places that are really emotionally meaningful from their past. When they feel like they're back in that place or doing that thing, they come alive again.” - Grace Andruszkiewicz describing senior's experience with virtual reality “Because the screen is a half an inch from your eyes, it's not uncommon for people to see something clearly for the first time in a VR headset.” - Grace Andruszkiewicz “It occurred to me that what was needed was a low-cost, non-invasive device that could recode the visual message in a way that would resonate with those islands of sight that people still have remaining.” - Dr. Frank Werblin on the development of IrisVision “Assisting patients with visual loss has a much broader function - it reconnects people with each other. IrisVision assists people in seeing the visual world, but what it's really doing is reconnecting them socially.” - Dr. Frank Werblin Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.

However, as far as searching for a book, adding a book to your bookshelf, listening to a book, moving forward or backward through a book, and changing the speech rate, all works fine on the Mac.   https://apps.apple.com/au/app/vision-australia-va-connect/id1051618020

The idea of virtual reality has captivated humans for the longest time. After all, the ability to live a second life, free of the physical obstacles that the real world presents is a dream worth falling into. But what if there was a bridge between the powers of virtual reality and its ability to impact the real world? That’s the mission that Ammad Khan, the CEO and Co-founder of IrisVision, set out to make possible.“I have always believed that technology has the tremendous potential of really changing the way we do things every day. And it's become really evident, since the launch of the smartphones in our lives and using the platform capability on the smartphone that so many of the things that we previously could not even think of have become possible.”One way the impossible is becoming reality is through the work of IrisVision, which uses the powers of virtual reality tools to enable people who have been declared legally blind the ability to see again. On this episode of IT Visionaries, Ammad discusses the power of the IrisVision software and provides case studies on how the product is working in the real world. Plus, he details the company’s go-to-market strategy and why it was integral to develop multiple prototypes before making the product widely available. Main TakeawaysBut First, Science: Founded in 2016, IrisVision is based on Dr. Frank Werblin’s research around retinal functions. Werblin and Khan, who possessed a background in mobile technology, worked together to find a software solution for helping individuals with low-vision see again. Virtual reality, combined with the increasing use of technology, allows the eyes to put together pixels, in order to make blurred vision more clear. Test, Test, Test: Before you send any product to market, you need to make sure you have a sound basis for how the product works and perform multiple use cases. Rushing a product to market without understanding how it performs under varying variables could be disastrous. Make sure you take the proper time to prototype your device so when it hits shelves, you’re off and running---IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

The Buddha taught that to develop Jhana – a well-concentrated mind – mindfulness of five specific hindrances is imperative to recognize and on them. It is the concentration developed in Jhana meditation that can then support the refined mindfulness necessary to integrate and develop the Eightfold Path as the framework for Dhamma practice.  These common hindrances to awakening can not be wished away or ritually dismissed.  These hindrances are not to be "validated" or analyzed as to origin or blame.  These hindrances cannot be ignored.  These common hindrances can be calmly recognized and abandoned throughJhana and a complete and pure Dhamma practcie.   “In order to abandon these five hindrances, the wise Dhamma practitioner should develop the Four Foundations Of Mindfulness, the Four Frames Of Reference...” (Look For Class 21-1 linked below))   All Local Knowledge - Uncommon Dhama Structured Study sutras and schedule are here: Local Knowledge - Uncommon Dhama Structured Study Each Dhamma class will have a Jhana meditation session followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion.
