TRANSCRIPT - Envision Glasses

>>Donna: Alright, we're gonna go ahead and start if people can trickle in as they would like. Good afternoon, everyone. This is TSBI is tech T time. And we are excited today to have Bob Bone from Envision and talking to us about the Envision smart glasses today. Bob got. Rescheduled it in from the fall. We are so glad we had a space for him to come meet with us today. So I am going to hand everything over to him. And let me stop my share here. And if you have a question, please feel free to drop it in the chat or into the Q&A and. Bob as questions come in. I will let you know.

>>Bob: Fantastic. Got it. Thank you very much for the invite and the opportunity to. Talk about a new exciting time for the blonde and visually impaired community as well as those students. That are needing, utilizing technology. To overcome any visual impairment. Artificial intelligence. Is the the most. Encompassing technology that will change. Blind and visually impaired people's lives. Forever and if anyone has used chat GPT they've seen the power of AI and now I can say that with the introduction into assistive technology, you're gonna see. Artificial intelligence really becoming. The game changer for us. Who are trying to keep up with the sighted world And in vision is one of the leading. Developers and manufacturers of assistive technology, with AI. And I'm here today to talk about the. Smart glasses and the Envision AI system. I guess to start off, I'd like to, Discuss some concepts of the founders of Envision. We are from the Hague Netherlands. That's where our headquarters is. And our headquarters is and our, development. Department and we basically are developing the device to be an international device. And system. We do have an app that is available to all compatible to Android and to iOS systems. You can go to your. Perspective. App or Play Store and download Envision AI and start enjoying about 2 thirds of the features. That we have to offer. To overcome the visual impairment. And the second part of our system in addition to the AI app. Is the smart glasses. Which basically extend the capabilities of the Envision AI phone app to be a hands-free solution and also adds some pretty advanced digital features that really make it ahead of a lot of other technologies are available. And also we have a third component, which is the ally feature, which is a video communications capability. That when you combine all 3 of the components. You have a complete system that provides visually impaired individuals. More solutions in a single system than any other that's available today. Now, on the Envision AI app. You have basically, 3 broad categories that allow the user to access and that's going to be reading. People and objects. And also tutorials. And then when you add the glasses. You add. All of those plus. Ask and vision, which is our, name of our digital assistant. As well as the video communications capability. Now before, going into the features of the device, the founders wanted to Basically develop a system that wouldn't be obsolete. So they looked at cell phones, and most cell phones are have a very long life cycle. As long as the, the cell phone providers are providing, capabilities for. The particular network. For that. Phone the phones will last forever. In fact I still have my iPhone 4 that I purchase in 2,009. Although The 3 G is no longer supported. It still works as a good iPad. So, the whole idea of envision was to follow that lead since the trend in the industry is to introduce a device with fantastic features but those devices are introduces an appliance. Very similar the appliances in your kitchen. So when you go to open a can, use your can opener when you go to, toast in English Movement, use your toaster. But you don't use the toaster to open up the can. And vice versa. You don't use the can opener to toast your English muffin. So that has been the the trend of many of the assistive technology companies that provide cool pieces of equipment, but when they come out with new capabilities, you have to replace the hardware. Whereas with a smartphone You simply add a new app to increase its capabilities. And that's the whole concept of the envision system. And the envision glasses. Now, the envision glasses basically I'm holding the device up here in front of the camera and for those who are visually impaired, I'll try to be as detailed as possible. The device replaces the right temple arm. Of your glasses so i happen to have my wireframes on this right now the titanium frames that come with the glasses however other frames are available Get them over here. And. They're over here someplace. Where is it? Well, when I could reach and find them, I'll show them 2 year here. Here's the Smith optics. This is one of the 3 frames that we offer. And again, the the device sits on the right templar arm. It's attached at the hinge. The device itself. So I just want to show you that there are other frame options available to the user. But the device. Yes.

>>Donna: Bob, with those Smith optics, the, the student or the user can have their own prescription added to them, correct?

>>Bob: Absolutely, absolutely. And also biopics, in other, in prisms can be added to those glasses and shaded lens can also be added to those we can either provide them. When the classes are ordered or the user can basically take it to their local optician and have them do the work for them. Okay. We do have 2 other frames which I do not have available at this time. They're a slightly smaller frame. We call them the Lux and glacier frames. And they are tortoise shell and gray. Blue gray colored, frames. Okay, now. The device again sits on the Right temple arm of the glasses. The battery is in the back and there is a USBC. Charger, port and the very, very back. And also the on off button is back toward the back of the unit. The curved area goes over the year. You have a small slit speaker right behind the ear if you're gonna wanna use that external speaker. You have a touch pad between the right ear and the hinge. The touchpad emulates a touch screen of a smart phone and we try to imitate voice over gestures so that a user, migrating to using this. Device will be able to be familiar with how to use the gestures on the touch pad of the glasses. The very front is the high definition video camera. There is a small display. On the device if a person has enough vision they can see up close they will have some additional icons and also in certain situations you'll see that what the video camera feed is displaying as well as some text. When reading documents. There is also

>>Donna: Bob, if you wouldn't mind, could you turn that? 100 and 80 degrees so that the screen is toward the camera or that works better, a little bit lower.

>>Bob: How's that?

>>Donna: A little lower.

>>Bob: Okay, that basically turn it on again. Okay, so I may have it turned off since I'm a I'm totally blind myself. I, will tend to turn off the screen because it'll extend the battery life.

>>Donna: Yeah, we won't be able to see what's on the screen, but I wanted them to see that that. Crystal piece, where the plastic piece comes out. From where they could see the screen to the to the.

>>Bob: Yes. Correct. And again, people that can see up close, a lot of them can see the contents of the screen, however, if you are, If your impairment is that extensive, you can just go ahead and go to settings and turn that display off to save on battery. Now, behind the camera inside the next to the hinge is a microphone. And then the hinge itself is electronic. Not only does it allow you to turn it on from a power off. Situation. It also turns the microphone on when you depress that. The button at the top. And it allows you to ask, either use voice commands or use the digital assistant and ask and vision questions. Okay, now internally, the system has a, significant, memory as well as a Wi-Fi in a Bluetooth chip. So when you, get the device, it's intended for you to sync it with your cell phone. With your Wi-Fi that you have locally as well as with your hotspot if you want to be mobile and use the advanced features. Now, of all the features, there's about 20 different features. On the glasses, and the phone app. 5 features do not, can be either used on an online or offline mode. You have instant text. You have a scan text. You can detect currency. You can detect colors and you can use, detect light. Offline, but all those features can be used online as well. So in broad categories, you have the reading capabilities, you have the finding and identifying capabilities and then with the glasses you have the video communications capabilities. Now, with the reading, you have the ability to read and. 3 different ways. I'll go ahead and put the glasses on. You have instant text. Which basically reads all text in view of the camera instantly. So it's totally hands free. You can be walking down the street. You can turn instant text on and anything that the camera sees, it will instantly read. It will even read cars flying on by. It'll read signs as you're going down the highway at 80 miles an hour. You can use it to read documents. It is it is a phenomenal feature in a hands-free operation because I've been able to go through airports and go through conference halls and be able to read gate signs, terminal monitors, storefront signs, and it'll instantly tell me what it is. And it's the closest thing to imitating natural vision for a blind person that I've discovered. And that is available on both the phone and on the glasses. Okay, then you have 2 other reading options, which is scan text and batch scan. Now, scan text can be used offline, but the accuracy of the OCR increases dramatically when you can connect to the internet. The processing when you're online is done at the Envision servers and the results come back with incredible accuracy. Plus due to that, parallel computing of the online OCR. It will even read handwriting very accurately and it has the ability to read. Up to 62 different languages. And with that, you can. Translate. From one language to another. And also with the scan text, you can save documents. So literally these glasses. Are a flatbed scanner that allow you to keep documents that you feel that are important. And those documents are stored on your phone app. So they're private. And they're not sent out onto the internet. And basically to show you all how that works, I've basically got some sample documents here. And I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to show the audience very simple document. Okay, and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna basically Follow the instructions of the document to read this. So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna push the button on the top of the device. And I'm gonna wake it up and I'm gonna say the words. Scanned text. Understand please repeat the command. Scan text. And it's gonna tell. It's gonna tell me how to hold the document. And it liked how I held it. It has document guidance built in and then it's going to go up to the. Comes steps to start and vision reading. Make sure the light is right. Step 2. You're going to point your face directly toward what you want to read. Paper around arms length in front of your nose. Step 4. Push the frame button for 2 s for clank sound and say scan text. Step 5, listen to device on how to hold page. Step 6, listen for photo snap and wait for reading to begin. Okay, so now the document is still in the memory of the glasses, but I did this really simple document to show you how simple the device is to use. It's just use a voice command and it'll open up any of the features that you have. Now at this point I could rewind. Step 5. Just by swiping my finger. On the touch pads. Sure the light is right. And I can. Tap the touch pad to pause the reading at this point that I've. Tapped it and then I can resume by tapping again. And I can now. Step 4, step 5. I can easily fast forward from paragraph to paragraph by using the swipe forward gesture. So again, it's very, very simple to use. Very high accuracy in the OCR when you're online. And when you're offline, the OCR drops down to about 80%. Okay, now but at this point if I wanted to export this document I could do so just simply by Doing a 2 finger single tap on the side of the, of the side of the glasses. So now to export the text to your . It has a lot of intuitive instructions, again, making it a very simple device to use. So it gave me explicit instructions. Of how to export the text. So if I go ahead and double tap now, it'll export that text to my smart device. And now it's exporting it. Okay. No. Swim down again to Now, it's in my smart device, my smartphone. And it is, I can then at this point save it as. A PDF. Save it as a text. Or save it as any format that is installed. On my Smart phone that can import a file. So it's very, very flexible, very, very easy now and also I could then text that document. To someone or I could email that document to someone. So it's incredibly, easy to use and also very, very productive allow users now to literally use the wearable device. To not only read easily with high accuracy but also save the documents that they want to. Okay, now. For those educators that are in our audience, that are concerned, there is a test mode. That you can disable that export feature. And limit the user only to reading. So be aware that that can be turned off. And it just simply going to the smartphone that the device is paired to. And going ahead and turning that feature off. Okay, so again, I just wanted to emphasize that but the export feature for high school and undergrad and graduate is incredibly productive. Many, many colleges, in many high schools, they may not have materials available to students in a digital form and these glasses allow the user basically to scan those pages, begin, reading them immediately, but then also allowing the individual to export it and then save it and then transfer it to another device. Okay. Now that scan allows you to scan, as many documents as you want. We've had some users scan up to 600 pages of novels that are not available in digital format. So, we haven't found a limit yet. I'm sure someone's going to try to scan a thousand, 2,000 pages and say there's a limit but I I've not yet heard any limitations at this point in time. Now, I'm gonna go ahead now and demonstrate some of the, digital capabilities, with the device using our digital assistant. Now I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to move on to another document, a little more complicated. Okay, and this I'm going to show this to our audience Okay, this happens to be, an invoice. I think it's an invoice. If I have my order my files correctly down and then I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to use scan text to take the picture. And then instead of reading everything line by line, I'm going to use the digital assistant ask and vision. Otherwise known as chat GPT. To summarize the document. Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead. Wake it up. I'm gonna go to Scantex and I'm gonna turn it on by double tapping. And it's going to tell me how to hold the document. Okay, I'm gonna reposition. I took the picture. Now as it's going up to the cloud. Account is gonna come back and start reading there it is okay i'm gonna go ahead and pause the playback because it has all sorts of coded information a lot of information in the document that if I had vision I would skip right over to it. And I would go right to the important stuff. And since this is an invoice from, a gas company. Want to basically find out what the balance do is or at first maybe I don't know what it is so I'm gonna ask it to summarize the document. Summarize this document. Your question. Depending on the amount of use right now at the GPT servers. You know, either come back very quickly or may take their bill from center point energy. Information about reduced rates due to a tax refund. Pay the bill online contact details for customer service. Previous gas payment details, recorded gas, emergencies. Information. Line account access. Total amount is $32 and 20 cents. For returning payment with a check or money order. Okay, so it told me. About this document. It told me what the balance do was, but it didn't tell me the paint the due date. So now I'm going to ask. The glass is what the due date is. What is the payment due date? Answering your question. Due date is September, 22, 2,022. Okay, so this is an older bill. This was about this document press and hold the Swipe down to go back to the reader. Again, I'm just letting it showing people that it's very, very helpful. For new users to give them instructions as they go. But it basically gave you the due date of September of 2022. Now, say I don't agree with that. And I'm wondering why it's different than other bills. So now I'm going to ask it. A nice question. What is the customer service phone number? Answering your question. Service phone number at 7 1 3 dash 6 5 8 dash 2 1 1 one or 80 dash 7 5 2 dash 8036 So gave me that information. About this document press. And you don't have to be specific with the words because artificial intelligence is working with the user. So the context of the language it's being used. Will be the context of the answer being provided. So it may have a different, may say toll-free, but I just asked it for the phone numbers and it gave me 2. So it is it is extremely helpful and really does level the playing field. And provides a visually impaired user. Levels of access. To language and text that they've never had before. Okay, and again, I can continue asking questions about this document if I wanted to, but I'm gonna go ahead. Center.com. And I couldn't hear swipe down again. I could read the entire document if I wanted to line by line, but I got the information that I needed. So I'm going to call them up, find out why the billing amount is different than it usually is. Okay, now moving forward. Now, more fun. Application is going out to eat at a restaurant. And so I happen to have a really complicated. Menu and I'll show it to the audience. Show it to the audience. It is a highly detailed. To take pictures of the 2 pages of the menu. It could be 12 pages or 20 pages, but this instance it's only 2 pages and then I'm gonna use the digital assistant. To ask questions instead of having to read everything on the menu. So I'll go ahead and. Push the button and wake it up. And I'm gonna. Batch Scan. No, it's not what I want. Sorry. Batch. Scan. Scanton. Okay. It's being a little bit. Okay, so I'm gonna go through. It's where I've seen fallen ally or features. Okay. There it is. And so now it's going to tell me how to hold it. Your head down. Okay, picture the first page. And that's gonna tell me the next step. Since I'm using batches. Figure double tap again to scan the second page. Single tab to finish scanning and open the text in the reader. And I held it just right again. And then it's gonna continue asking me if I wanna scan more pages. One finger double tab again to scan another page. 2 figure singles out to finish scanning and open the text in the reader. Tapped it one time or 2 fingers? 1. 20. Okay, so now it's all it's reading line by line now and I pause it because I really don't want to read everything in the menu, but I'm gonna ask. The digital assistant for a summary. Some. Okay. Types of soups, appetizers, rice and noodle dishes, poultry, seafood, vegetable dishes and chefs specials. Okay. It gave me a specific. Answer to my specific question. So now I'm interested in seafood. Actually, I'm, and then it should see food. I'm wondering if there's any Egg Foo Young on the menu. So I'm going to go ahead and ask it. Is there any egg view? Young, I'm the menu. Is answering your question Give me a specific answer. The. What is Egg Foo Young? And this information is not on the menu. Is answering your question Vegetables and sometimes seafood. Similar to an omelet or a fratana. And Steve Bryce. Okay, so. Question about this document press and hold the Now, using the digital assistant. It went beyond the contents of the document. Went to the internet, found my answer on. In a database and provided it to me. So it's extremely powerful. It goes beyond what is just on the menu. Now I'm gonna ask it some other questions that have nothing to do with the menu at all. And let's see how busy the servers are. What is a hypersonic cruise missile? Yeah, that's your question. See how busy the servers are. Personic cruise missile is a type of. Speeds greater than 5 5 times the speed of sound. To fly at low altitudes and deliver its payload with high precision and maneuverability. Okay, question about this document. Now again, I can ask another question. I'm gonna ask it a question about. What is the Jaws Keystroke command to read the previous line? Answering your question. The Jaws Keystroke Band to read the previous line is Control Plus a Vero. So I can ask just about any question. And it will answer it for me. Specifically to what I asked for. Now I'm going to go back to the menu. One last example. Is there any lobster on the menu? And There is lobster on the venue. Okay. What menu item has lobster in it? Okay, I'm just answering your question. Jumbo shrimp and chicken W. Lobsters over noodles. There you go. So. This document press and hold the So I just, she's always helpful. So basically through that 5 min examination of the menu we were able through that 5 min examination of the menu, we were able to break it down, filter out what I didn't want. Actually have to listen to, which is usually what I have to do with traditional legacy assistive technology devices. And then it went beyond that to allow me to answer questions about the contents of the information on there that wasn't included in the document and then ask totally random questions that has nothing to do with the document at all. Okay, and that's again, that's called ask and vision. Now. in addition, I'm gonna go ahead and. Clear that out. And now I'm going to go and use scan text. To read product packaging. Okay. Users quite often, when my wife gets irritated at me and she doesn't want me to, she doesn't want to fix me dinner, I have to go to the freezer and I had to pick out some frozen food. So right here I have a box. Showing it to the audience and what I'm going to do is I'm going to use VAT scan. Again, to basically take a picture of all side of all in many sides of the of the product packaging that I want. And then I'm going to use the digital assistant. To find out the preparation instructions. Okay, so now I'm gonna go ahead and let's see. Is batch scan again? I'm gonna go ahead and double tap. It's gonna ask me, it's gonna say there's no I'm going to double tap to take a picture anyway. Because this is not a document. Scan the second page to figure single tap, no document detecting. Then double tap again. And then I'm gonna do this. Thank you. But snow first lasagna with meat and sauce. So it took that logo and it has is the ability to read the logo. That's what we're talking about, the handwriting. It will read just about anything and everything. Now, but I'm gonna use a digital assistant because I know that it's, lasagna and I'm gonna ask it what the microwave a preparation instructions are. What are the microwave instructions? That's answering your question. Microwave for 3 min on high. For another 4 min on 50% power. Okay, let's just stand for 1 min. There you go. Continue asking a question about this document. So gave me my information exactly, specifically for what I asked. I don't have to read all the other information. Now I'm going to ask another question. How much sodium is in this? So, I'm just. Is answering your question It's 990 mg of Sonia. Whoa. Wow, so it's 990 Mg's so that's a lot of sodium. But the bottom line is I didn't have to read it all through to get the information I wanted. I just used Ask and vision the digital assistant to get that information. Badjaya. Serious as its way. Okay. So now, I can also extend that. Reading application. And I won't, continue, but I could read a cylinder like a can of soup by using batch scan and taking 3 pictures. Turning 90 degrees each time so that I get all sides. Of the can in there and I can just ask. Questions again it will tell me what the brand is, what the soup is. It'll tell me how to prepare it and all the nutritional information. So extremely helpful. Extremely useful of combining. The built in feature, that's already on the device plus adding the digital to expand horizons of what the technology can do for. Blind and visually impaired person. Okay, now, yes.

>>Donna: This is Donna real quick. I just love how It would also teach our kids how to inquire how to ask questions to get the information that they want. Because if they just ask it. Is lobster on the menu basically says yes it is they have to say What has lobster in it to really get to the bottom of the answer other than a yes or no? So it's also that next layer of teaching that's actually built in. To them asking those questions.

>>Bob: Yes, and a little side note is the algorithms that are being used are layered algorithms. So you start off with a question and then you can continue building on that question to dig down for more and more information. And what we discovered it with the refinements. It has provided the information and much more quickly than in previous generation models. So, yes, it definitely is designed to develop the, the, the questioning and to provide the information that they're looking for. Now, those are a lot of the reading capabilities. In fact, I could translate. Things to other languages. By using the Ask and Vision, it does, not only provide you a translation but also it provides the correct syntax of that language that you're translating to. So whereas the English is verb noun, most of the European languages are now in verb and it will rearrange that the syntax so it's It's understandable to that person who knows that other language. Okay. And again, handwriting, it will read handwriting in 62 languages as well. And if need be, you can you can use that to translate it into the language of your, of your desire. Now, that's the reading capabilities of the device. It also will find and identify objects. And this is where the O and M folks really do like it. And what I'm going to do now is and I'm going to go ahead and you I'm going to call up the feature called Find Object. Which allows me to select the specific object that I'm going to look for. Then it will then indicate where and in relationship to the camera it is by 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock notation. Okay, so I'm gonna use the voice command to start it. Okay. Find object. Object. Okay. Right now it's set for door. But I can go through, a whole list of items. Stairs. Bottle, I'm gonna leave it on bottle and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna let the camera see if I'm gonna show you I've got a bottle in my hand and then I'm gonna go down and look at it. Yeah, the object is in front of you. Okay, and. I, 12 o'clock. Basically, it's right in front of me. Now, I'm gonna go look for something else. I'm gonna go look for something else. Chair. So now I'm gonna look for something else. Chair. So now I'm gonna look around the room. It told me the chairs at 10 o'clock. 10 o'clock or chair at 11 o'clock. I have 2 chairs in this room right here. So it tells me where those items are. Bench. Toilet? Toilet? That's handy. Okay, computer keyboard. And so if I look down now at my keyboard. At 2 o'clock. As far as where those items are in front of me. And that's finding object. There's also another feature called Explorer. Which, has able to identify up to 80 different images and let you know in what direction they are in. Now Explorer does require a link. To the cloud. So if you're out and about, you would need to have, your glasses or your smartphone hotspot on so the glasses can reach that database. Okay, now.

>>Donna: And Bob, we've had Ken's, this is Donna. Karen says this is amazing. And I have agreed with her that I think it is an amazing tool.

>>Bob: It is absolutely amazing that the orientation of mobility. The orientation hints in there really is made a difference in my life as far as finding things because it will find a remote controls and cell phones are very similar but again it allows me to find the remote control of a TV. V. Set or my cell phone that I've left around without having to call it. We also have added. Recently image GPT. So I can get an enhanced. Description of the environment that I'm in. So that's called scene description. And I'm gonna go ahead and use the voice command to start it. And I'm going to turn over and as a. Disclaimer, I am a visually impaired person in my cleaning habits aren't that great so So, would it, I take a picture of my office, you'll see that I'm not a very neat person. And it kind of lags me about cleaning things up, but, but the whole point of it is it will be very descriptive. And it will tell me a lot about my office that I may not want to hear. So I'm gonna go ahead. Push the button. Describe scene. That's where I've seen. Okay, it's now going to the cloud. It's pulling out the data points, the metrics of the image. And the more complex the image, the longer it takes. And here we go. In the image, there is a cluttered office or workspace filled with various items. Contains a desk, a chair and a computer monitor placed on top of the desk. There are also several bookshelves in the room. Are overflowing with papers, books, and other items. Additionally, there are 2 chairs in the room, one near the desk and another closer to the left side of the image. Laptop could be seen resting on the desk likely used for work or other tasks. The space appears to be quite cluttered and disorganized but it still serves its purpose as an officer workspace. Okay. About this image press and hold again.

>>Donna: This is Donna and Wow is she opinionated.

>>Bob: One down to go back the context menu. I happen to wanna know where the filing cabinets are. So I'm going to ask it a question. Are there any filing cabinets in the office? And again, it's coming to the cloud coming back. There are several filing cabinets in the office. Okay, very good. So now I'm gonna build on that question. Are the filing cabinets to the left in the middle or to the right? So now when I get out of my chair. I, I know that I can go to the left and get to those filing cabinets. Now I can ask even more questions like how many drawer the filing cabinets have, what the color of the filing cabinets have, all sorts of things. But the whole idea here is that it's using the digital assistant. To provide me with more detail. That in the past I would have to ask a sighted person. To get that information or being a visually impaired person have to go around and feel tactically to find out what's in my surroundings. Now, It also will find. People and let's see, it'll also describe pictures pretty well. I can you can go into a gallery and you can take seen descriptions of pictures and I'll go ahead and show the audience. That it's very powerful and I want to do here so it doesn't describe everything else in the camera lenses a wide-angle lens it will see 85 degrees which is significantly greater than the human eye. So I'm gonna bring this picture really close to the glasses so it cuts out. Other areas around the office. So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna say. Describe scene again. So, that's what we're doing. I'm gonna bring it up close. Opening describe. Okay, now I'm taking the picture and again. For sighted people, they can see what that is. And again, the more complex the view, the more time it takes to process. Person is holding a piece of paper with a mountain seat. I'm going to. The paper appears to have been cut out from a book or magazine as there are several books visible in the background. Person holding the paper seems to be admiring the mountain seed. Enjoying the scenic view while sitting at a desk or table. There are also several other papers scattered around the room. So. Just think that this might be. And I didn't hold it close enough because it caught those other things around me. But now I'm gonna ask it more about the picture. Describe the picture. Landscape with trees and mountains in the background. To be taken from a high vantage point giving the viewer a bird's eye view of the scenery. Okay. Okay. More items like is there snow on the mountains? Is there water in the picture or the trees? And it would tell me. And as, the databases improve, what we're going to find out is that you're going to be able to do things like ask it. What kind of trees are they and would tell you? So it is it is quite an amazing technology for the blind and visually impaired. It's really changing. How we interact with the world and giving us even more and more. Independence and autonomy that we didn't have before. And finally, we do have. The ability to have video communications. And there's 2 options. As I said at the beginning, we have the ally option. Which is a companion app that's available on the App Store or the Play Store that allows sighted users to download their apps. That app to their phone. So that they can receive calls from people. On the glasses. To provide them with remote human assistance. So if the built-in features that come with the glasses don't help. Enough if the digital assistant doesn't provide enough information, then you can make a call to someone. To get that information. Now I happen to have an IRA account and IRA is a paid subscription service. With trained professionals that really do well with. Guiding people and helping blind people. Either navigate or operate equipment or even reads complicated flow charts that normal OCR applications can't read. So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna call up IRA. And ask them what they see in front of us. So I'm gonna go ahead and use the voice command. Wake it up. Call, I. Well, I didn't want to ally. I didn't want that. Scantech, Instant Text is where I've seen fallen ally. More features. Okay, I've got I just can't find people. Explore. Sound objects. But can't you, won't recognize Cap. Detect color. And now it's making the call. And it's gonna tell me their name. 3 51 50 20 notifications. Hey, Sarah. I am showing the envision glasses with Ira and I'm showing the Envision glasses with IRA and I'm on a video conference and I'd like you to describe to our audience and I'd like you to describe to our audience here what you see through the camera of the glasses. Sure. By the way, it looks like you're sitting in and all. I do see across the room, cabinet. One has, they look like they or doors to them and then a shop above them. To the right of that I see a stack of boxes it looks like there's 4 boxes stacked up . To the left the left of the violent cabinet. I see. The adjacent wall. With a chair pushed into it. Items on top of the desk. I'm not sure. They look like maybe some kind and then in the bureau that's stacked up. Straight behind. The shoving units that looks like it has people. Fantastic. To the left of that, it looks like there might be a glass front door and it looks like there's some into the window. That's right, that's right. Now, Sarah, what is on the computer terminal in for me? On the monitor. Can you see it? It looks like you are in a meeting. I see 2 people that are in the meeting also. There's a gentleman that's wearing glasses and a colored shirt. Another individual. That is TF EVI, I believe, outreach wearing a hat. Yeah, both of those, those people are in that meeting and then it looks like you do have some other. Pulled up on your computer screen also. That's correct. That's correct. Very good. Excellent. Very good. One last thing here is what does this look like to you? And it is actually marked. Very good. I don't actually have any update. Oh yes. That direction. Okay, so right there it looks like. Sorry about Yeah, it's, sorry about that. Sorry about that. Go ahead, bring a little closer. Okay.

>>Donna: Bye, I think we've lost the sound.

>>Bob: How about now? Can you hear? Okay, very good. Well, Sarah, did you hear that? Robo calls. Okay, very, very good.

>>Donna: We saw most of that. Or we heard most of that.

>>Bob: Sorry about that. I can't, I can't turn off that ringer. So Sarah, thank you very, very much for showing the power of. So Sarah, thank you very, very much for showing the power of, ringer. So Sarah, thank you very, very much for showing the power of remote human assistance. 3 the 3 Bye. Clip down again, Next. Okay. All right. So she might have heard her in and out of that. But basically, again, the theme here is to be able to use the glasses along with the Envision AI app. And a third party application like IRA or the Envision ally. And when you combine all 3 sections of the platform, you're going to be able to provide incredible autonomy and independence to any visually impaired person, whether they're tech savvy or Untax savvy. So again, it's very powerful device. And also I just do wanna let you know that, at all TWC locations. And at Chris Cole, I recalls from the envision glasses are free. So that's basically people can then call and they get assistance at any TWC location across Texas. As well as at the Chris Cole campus. And I believe TSBVI may be getting involved. With that as well. So.

>>Donna: I cannot confirm or deny that one, cause I do not have direct knowledge of that. But this has been so informative and we very much appreciate you filling us in. We do have About 4 min left. And if we have any questions or if you have another feature to tell us about.

>>Bob: Okay. I, the only thing we haven't talked about is find people, but you can record as many people as you want into the system and it will find them when they're around you.

>>Donna: That is pretty cool. I really like that as well. So with the

>>Bob: Yes.

>>Donna: Not to dig too deeply in there it would it be affordable for most of our folks Is it a high cost service?

>>Bob: Yes, in fact, for those that qualify. They can be provided, their initial, service at no cost to them.

>>Donna: Awesome. And Lisa says that this is a Great resource. Thank you, Lisa, for that input. And we are down. 10, we're gonna wait. Couple more minutes for if there's any more questions. I'm going to go ahead and share some more. That is coming up for us. If I can get my screen.

>>Bob: Yes, and while we're waiting. Yeah, let's envision.com is the website LTS, E NV IS Iowan. Dot com. No apostrophe. It's all one word. And my email address is Bob at let's envision. Dot com. We have. 15 distributors through the country. We work with most of the state agencies we are now developing our, relationship with most of the state educational agencies. And we look forward to possibly providing a virtual demonstrations of those who want hands on. I have to do is call and ask and we can range to have a distributor come to them. To show the device to them.

>>Donna: Well, hopefully we can get you at some of our conferences soon. And we can have some demos. Absolutely.
