It was a horrendous week on the accessibility front for me. In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about my time at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store in Ardmore to get some help with my iPhone XR. Those folks may know a lot about the iPhone, but their lack of knowledge in VoiceOver was astounding. Trouble with American Express and Verizon completed the we-don't-know-how-to-deal-with-blind-customers trifecta. The big companies need some guidance.

Brian and Ed welcome Sam Seavey to the That Real Blind Tech Show Lair. If Sam's name is not familiar to you, his YouTube Channel probably is as Sam produces The Blind Life.   Sam takes us through how he started The Blind Life originally known as The Blind Spot, what made him want to get in to producing videos for the blind and low vision, and his experience with Android devices of all things.   We discuss some of the initial accessibility barriers Sam faced when he launched his YouTube channel, and what some of the challenges he faces producing his channel in 2022.   Sam then shares his experiences being back in person at ATIA and CSUN conferences this year.   Since we are both tech shows, we discuss reviewing products and how we handle a product that we just cannot give a positive review about. We then tackle the common complaint that assistive technology products are overpriced.   Here at That Real Blind Tech Show, our setup is fairly simplistic, as we just work with audio. We were quite curious to learn about Sam's setup for filming video, and how accessible the products he uses are for the blind and low vision. Sam tells us about the first Sony camcorder to have a screen reader built in to it, but hold your horses, as the screen reader is still unfortunately, in its development stages.   While Sam's The Blind Life Channel is completely free to view and subscribe to, he does need to eat, so if you are a fan of his content we discuss the different subscription levls he offers.   We then get Sam's advice for people in our community who have been thinking about starting their own YouTube Channel.    You can keep up with Sam on The Blind Life YouTube  and Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, now on Tick Tock if you use this one.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

This week we connect with Sam Seavey from The Blind Life.  If you want to know the latest info on accessible tech Sam is the guy to know.  You can find the Blind Life on YouTube and TikTok or at his website.  www.theblindlife.net  The Blind Life is a representation of what is going on in my life and what I enjoy, all from the Visually Impaired perspective. I enjoy sharing tips and tricks of navigating life with Low Vision, but I absolutely love showing all the new assistive technology that can help make our lives awesome!

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Today's big idea is Sonar and a somewhat similar technology called LiDAR! Can we use the latest sonar technology for obstacle detection the way bats and other nocturnal creatures do? There have been many exciting advances happening in sonar sensors that now make this possible for people who are blind. However, unlike bats, we won't need to receive feedback signals through our ears. Advances in haptic technologies and languages make communication through touch possible. Dr. Cal Roberts talks with Dr. Matina Kalcounis-Rueppell from the College of Natural and Applied Science at the University of Alberta, Ben Eynon, and Diego Roel from Strap Technologies, Marco Trujillo of Sunu, and Sam Seavey of The Blind Life YouTube Channel to find out more.   The Big Takeaways: How does a bat see what it sees? Dr. Kalcounis-Rueppell studies bats and how they use sound to thrive in their nighttime world. Bats use a series of echoes to see a 3D view of their environment, but their world isn't always so simple. There's rain, there are leaves, and other creatures flying that bats need to detect with their sonar. Similarly, people with vision impairment have to use their  hearing to navigate complex auditory environments. Strap Technologies uses Sonar and LiDAR sensors that can be strapped across the chest, which helps people who are blind detect obstacles. These kinds of sensors have been used to park spacecraft, but with recent developments, they're finally small enough that a human can wear them in a compact way. Ben and Diego share how it works. Unlike Sonor, LiDAR technology uses pulsed laser light instead of sound waves. Though bats have been honing their echolocation skills for millennia, interpreting information haptically, rather than sonically, is an adaptation that humans, using technologies like Strap, can make. Haptic information can help us navigate without sight through the use of vibrations, which is great news because it means we can leave our ears open to process our active world. More specifically, Ben and Diego suggest that people may no longer need to use a cane to detect obstacles. Ben and Diego are excited about the future. With their technology, they hope to create quick-reacting haptic technology so people who are blind can one day ride a bike or run a race. Infrared or radiation sensors could be added in the future to detect other hazards in the environment. The more user feedback they receive, the easier it will be to add on these product enhancements. Another way we can approximate sight is through echolocation. However, how easy is it for us to hear echoes, really? For Marco at Sunu, it's actually a natural skill we can learn to develop. Similar to Strap Technologies, the process of learning echolocation could be improved if you're wearing a Sunu Band. Sam Seavey was diagnosed at age 11 with Stargardt's Disease. He decided to use his voice and video skills to create a YouTube review channel for those who need to use assistive tech. The positive feedback from the community keeps him going. Sam has personally reviewed the Sunu Band, and you can check out the link to his review in the show notes!   Tweetables: “They parked spacecraft with these same sensors, and recent developments have really pushed the miniaturization of the components, such that a human being can now wear them in a very compact form factor.” — Ben Eynon “He said, ‘I'm walking faster than I have in a long, long time,' because he started to trust that the haptic vibrations were telling him every obstacle in the way.” — Ben Eynon shares the reaction from a user who is visually impaired testing Strap “We're changing our environment around us in ways that also change the acoustic environment.” — Dr. Matina Kalcounis-Rueppell “How is it that we have self-driving cars, we have rockets that land themselves like, we have a better iPhone every year, but we don't have something better than a stick? How can this happen? We still have people moving around and having issues every day.” — Marco Trujillo   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links: Lighthouse Guild Dr. Matina Kalcounis-Rueppell Ben Eynon & Diego Roel Marco Trujillo Sam Seavey — Sunu Band Review
