Podcasts about sunu band

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the sad news of the closure of the company behind Sunu band, a mobility aid that used sonar and was worn on the wrist to help someone navigate their surroundings while using a cane or guide dog. We feature a statement from their founder. Also, there's a slew of accessibility updates to talk through, from Google and Xbox. Read more from Paul Thurrott's blog: https://www.thurrott.com/google/291115/google-and-xbox-announce-new-accessibility-features And there's a chance to learn about a new treadmill that lets you walk and turn safely within a virtual reality setting. Steven caught up with the CEO of the company VirtuaWalk.

Michael Babcock takes the hosting chair today while Steven is away, and immediately jumps into tech with a discussion on how to make sure you are always in the frame when it comes to video conferencing on your computer. Shaun talks about his experience with the fantastic Windows app Can You See Me and Michael tells us of a similar app for the Mac called CenteredHead. After more talk on everything from Windows vs. Mac and browser problems, it's on to a listener lesson for Shaun regarding his trouble using a liquid level indicator. Just how do you make the perfect cup of tea or coffee, and will Shaun admit to being a secret finger dipper? Listener Ken also emails us about his recent purchase of the Leaden Wireless Bluetooth MP3 polarized sunglasses. With a price tag of only $15.99, just how do they compare to the far more expensive options out there in the audio sunglasses market? There's more listener feedback with a voicemail from Scout giving his opinion on the reasons why people want stand-alone devices such as the Victor Reader Stream 3 and the SensePlayer. But with the prices of these devices creeping close to the cost of smartphones are they pricing themselves out of the market? Finally, Wayne emails in to share his experiences with sonar mobility devices such as the UltraCane and Sunu Band.

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun react to more news coming out of Twitter following tweets by Elon Musk that he isn't happy the tech giants is removing ads from his platform and issuing concerns around the 30% fee taken by Apple for in-app purchases. There's also discussion on a fascinating battle in the courts between a U.S. radio station service and Google following claims it was paying DJs to talk about a product without them having hands-on time with it. Plus, there's an interview with the makers of the Sunu Band following a request for more information from listener Ronnie.

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

Orbit Writer Update   We spoke about the orbit  Writer a few weeks ago, my ordered unit is still sitting in the US waiting to be shipped, so when it gets here we will talk about it.  However, Hamish (smile) may be getting his earlier than me, so we may have him on the program again soon.   Speaking of orders being delayed, just reminding folks that this also apply’s to orders from the Vision Australia Vision Store even within Australia.   We have also been advised, that Apple orders from the Va Store are also running at a 4 to 6 week delay due to supply constraints as well.   Sunu Band and Aftershokz Deal still available    For $300 you can still pick up the Sunu Band and Aftershokz. I still find the Sunu Band is great for social distancing when I’m out and about in public, particularly when shopping. When coupled to my iPhone with the Sunu Band app, the Aftershokz still let me listen to my environment.   https://shop.visionaustralia.org/shop/product/sunu-band-and-aftershokz-trekz-air-wireless-headphones-special-offer   A Reminder on Two Products from Quantum RLV   I noticed the other day that some folks weren’t aware that Quantum RLV has the Inside One Windows 10 Braille tablet, and the Canute 360 multi line Braille E-Reader.   Https://www.quantumrlv.com.au    Aira updates: City rail, and change to 5 Minute free access minutes.   Just a correction to last week show about Aira on Sydney City Rail, its all Sydney transport - train, light rail, bus, and ferry.   Aira has also changed its 5 minute free access time limit, 5 minutes every 4 hours for subscribers and 5 minutes every 24 hours for guests.  see this Blind Bargains post.   https://www.blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=21995   cSUN 2021: going virtual.   This is great for people that can’t afford to get to the US for the CSUN Conference.  I still find it odd that in this day and age, it took a world wide crisis for people to realise that you could run events virtually as well.   https://blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=21996 https://blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=2199   Untold RPG Text Adventure with VoiceOver support:   Excellent Text Adventure RPG.  Play the text based adventure for free up to a point, and then pay if you wish to continue.   https://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ipados-gaming/untold-rpg-now-official-support-voiceover?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter   New Ballyland Magic Plus app to Teach VoiceOver Gestures   Update to the original Ballyland Magic app with more gestures and better visuals.   https://apps.apple.com/tt/app/ballyland-magic-plus/id1510039691?ign-mpt=uo%3D2   Apple renames Beats 1 to Apple 1   So if you are looking for Beats 1 within the iOs Music app, it is now called Apple 1.   https://9to5mac.com/2020/08/18/apple-music-radio/

In this weeks Talking Tech, David celebrates his 30 years at the RBS of NSW and now Vision Australia by discussing some of the tech highlights over his time working as a technology specialist.     With these notes, you get the whole list, enjoy.   Unusual or Meaningful Tech Over the Last 30 years   When I started work for the then RBS of NSW (now Vision Australia) on June 4 1990, my tech on my desk was a Keynote PC Plus based on a Toshiba 1000, a Braille & Speak note taker, and of course a telephone land line.   Tech sitting on my desk 2020 for general everyday stuff, iPhone, QBraille Braille Display, iPad, MacBook Pro, Surface Pro, Google Home, Amazon Echo, and HomePod: plus my audio studio setup for podcasting and my radio program.   In no particular order, this is a list of all the tech that I have personally used for both home and work over the last 30 years covering my time at both Royal Blind Society of NSW then  Vision Australia).   Where amazingly some of the tech still exists when it first came out and where it has evolved to current, I’ve put the updated version in the current lists as well.   Interestingly, there are over 10 products that are Assistive Tech related that have lasted the test of time and are in the old and current tech sections.   Where some of the products may not be that well known (at least according to me smile), I’ve put a very short blurb next to them.   Oddly or not, I wish some of the devices that are no longer around still were, as they did some great specific things.   For me, I think the main technology advances were: Microsoft Windows 3.1 access (keeping in mind Outspoken had been out for a while for Macs) in the 1990’s, Mobile and Smart phone access in the 2000’s (Talkback for Synbian and VoiceOver for iPhone) plus VoiceOver for the Mac in 2005, Smart speakers and Smart home tech in 2010-2020.   Things we still need to conquer: Ongoing message and change for accessibility across mobile/desktop apps, and the huge one, the web. Access to self service kiosks. Indoor navigation. Accessibility in white goods. Accessible EFTPOS terminals (Apple Pay sort of gets around this). More audio described content on free to air. Hate to pick out out Foxtel, but they sort of deserve it, an accessible Foxtel box. One final point, we should be careful about assigning accessibility based on the fact that it works with one specific type of software, particularly in the screen reader industry.   Old Tech   If you haven’t heard of some of this stuff, use good old Google, should still be some info floating around.  If it brings back hopefully good memory’s I’m glad.     Keynote PC Plus (Toshiba 100 laptop with Keynote note taking software and insult speech).

Hinderniswarnung zur Abwechslung mal am Handgelenk. Sunu Band - das ist ein Armband, das mittels eines Ultraschallsensors vor Hindernissen warnen soll. Was es zusammen mit der App noch kann und wie es funktioniert - hier im Interview mit dem Hersteller.

Hello all, Welcome to the March 2019 episode of AccessAbilities!! We are so excited to bring you an interview with Fernando Albertorio with the Sunu Band (www.sunu.io) "Designed for when you can’t easily use sight or due to a vision impairment, Sunu Band enables you to walk and travel with confidence. Sunu Band is the only smart-band that guides your way around obstacles. It uses sonar or echolocation to detect objects up to 16 feet or 5.5 meters away. Then haptic vibration feedback informs how close (or far away) you are to obstacles. Sunu Band compliments the white cane, guide dog or low vision. This smart-band augments your personal awareness, and reduces accidents to the body, chest, arms and head. Sunu Band is the only intelligent travel aid with more built-in sensors than any other device in the market. Explore and navigate unfamiliar places with Sunu Band’s haptic compass, place finder/explorer and GPS navigation app. Now you can enjoy the personal freedom of always knowing where you are, what’s around you, and how to get there with Sunu Band."

De sunu band is een smartband die je rond obstakels kan leiden. Door middel van sonar en echolocatie kan hij objecten vanop 5,5 meter herkennen. Met trillingen geeft de band aan hoe dichtbij de opstakels zich bevinden. Hoor er hier alles over in het gesprekje dat we met Ivo van Integra Belgium hadden op Brailletech […] Het bericht Brailletech 2018, de Sunu band: detecteer obstakels met deze slimme smartband verscheen eerst op Tech Touch Podcast.

Welcome to the newest and fifth episode of the Ebu Access Cast. After one month period of silence during October due to a few technical problems and the Jakobs trip to Amazonian forests, we are back to bring you the newest content from around the globe from the assistive industry, and boy boy, we have a lot of interesting things to say this time. If you stay with us until the end of the news announcements, you will be able to hear our surprise demonstration about the new product, which is hitting our blindness, and sight impaired community like a storm these days. We received our first contribution from one of our listeners from Denmark which means that our podcast is being listened and followed, so we'd like to say once more thank you, Keep sending us your feedback, we are looking to expand our podcast even more in the future.   In the news section, first Jakob informs us about new software update for the Orcam, which brings new voice commands, new language support and Bluetooth connectivity. If you would like to know more about the Orcam follow the next link.   GE and Alexa Work Together to Create a Voice-Controlled Microwave with Scan to Cook Technology, and Mario tells us a bit more about it   Beginning of November started with the newest updates for Jaws 2019 as well as Fusion and Zoomtext. To read what's new for Jaws users follow this link: Mario and Jakob are also mentioning why it is important to keep our screen readers up to date, and why new Jaws 2019 is much faster than the previous versions on the web as well as in the Office applications.   Good independence in orientation and mobility is very important for blind or visually impaired person. However, when new GPS technological solutions are used properly with the aids such as white Cane or a guide dog, our independence can be increased even further. Therefore, Mario informs our listeners what's new for the last few weeks in the Lazarillo application, available for the iOS and Android platform, and why the application works much better now when used in the walking mode, which is used for the pedestrian navigation.   The last thing for the end of this episode is the demonstration, which we received from Jesper Holten who is accessibility consultant for the Danish association of the blind. The demonstration talks about the Sunu band. Using radar and augmented reality, Sunu Band enables people who are low vision and blind to travel with confidence. Advanced haptic feedback guides your way around any obstacle, and navigation sensors connect you to the world that’s around you. Designed for when you can’t easily use sight or due to a vision impairment, Sunu Band enables you to walk and travel with confidence.
