Hi,
That's the whole point of the device, the tapping sounds. If you hear
that
advertorial in stereo, they would be very useful.
All the best

it was the constant tapping sound that got on my nerves.

The recorded article makes it clear that the system is at the research

more
work to do, there is also the possibility that it never becomes an

authorities and others have to apply navigation beacons everywhere.

Hmm!
Sounds interesting, particularly as I'm struggling with new routes in
Reading and the demo went almost past our door! <Smiles>
There was no mention as to whether this would ever be available to the
general everyday, hard pressed GDO and other blind folk trying to get
around! Has anyone heard anything about the cost or whether it will be
released for any users in an everyday situation?

Hi Barry
Yes, I heard a piece on Radio Ulster about this over breakfast this
morning.
What they didn't mention was the cost involved, both to GDBA in
partnering
it, and the user. It sounded interesting though I have to say.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

It's a shame it only works with the Windows mobile, but this looks
pretty
good otherwise.
A headset that guides visually impaired people around cities has been
developed by Microsoft and charity Guide Dogs.
