Yes, they are different animals entirely. Which is why it surprised me that
you mentioned expensive products at all in this context.

hi steve for me #300 to help getting around would be much much better for me
so, first i would go for this new sonus band at #300 rather than something
like the glasses at 2 thousand. if you can do it and have best of both
worlds then fine but, the band seems to be more of an actual walking aid or
help for a blind person.

John, what are you talking about 2000 pounds? The Sunu Band isn't
that expensive.
Are you whinging about smart glasses again?

you would deffinatly fall down a hole then.
seriously though it sounds a very interesting device because when in
noisey conditions you still get the feedback it might take a bit to
learn how to use it though but anything like this at #300 must be a
good thing. also, it's only in it's beginning and again who knows what the
personally and this is only for me speaking 2 thousand pounds is a lotthere.

Hi,
The price on-line is $299. I have found that ordering these in
from the States, by the time delivery and import Tax is added,
they run in around #299. This is dependant on current exchange rates.
I have to say that I have been using one for the last 3 months and
have found it invaluable as a supplementary mobility aid along
with either a long cane or when I am out with my guide dog. I find
it exceptional for locating pedestrian crossing poles, as I found
this a real pain when crossing and I wasn't right beside the pole.
The indoor and outdoor options give a vast range of detection,
outdoors up to 16 feet. Both indoor and outdoor can be adjusted to
suit your specific needs. The app also has a find my phone
function, which causes your phone to alarm and vibrate. I have
been working with the developers and providing feedback over the
past months to help develop the app and give any additional ideas
for both personal and use

Hi Steve
Would you mind telling us a bit more about Sunu Band from your
perspective as a totally blind wearer. I've had a quick look
using the link you provided below, but is it just like something
you wear on your wrist that vibrates when you come up against
obstacles in the same way BuzzClip or Ray does?
Thanks.
Kind regards,

It is like the Mini Guide, or Ray, but you wear it on your wrist.
I also saw Andre Louis, an excellent musician, demonstrating
Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol, which is an accessible
keyboard which, using a computer, you can make the whole keyboard
speak, from selecting instruments, to editing parameters.
That's definitely on my shopping list.
So no John, I disagree that most of the stuff at Sight Village
was for VI only this time, I saw some great new tech this year.
I also saw WeWalk,

It links to an app on your phone and has many functions, compass,
time, alarms that vibrate, but its prime function is to give
haptic feedback of when you are approaching objects.

hi david i was going to go but because of the heat and the
difficulty with the trains i gave it a miss sadly. i woder if the
nav trace has had it's updates yet. i would have liked to have
seen that device but again coming down from leeds changing at
birmingham and getting to the venue was too much for me. also, i
do find the venues rather noisey and busy and i must admit for a
totally blind persons these days a lot of the stuff seems to be
for people who have some vision which is great for them of
course. techie is moving so very fast now and it's good to see
which new devices are coming on the market. i really wish we had
a good android satnav app i have just heard steve's sight village
podcast very interesting about his new device i think you wear it
on your wrist and
i have not heard much at all though about the event of course
some great offers with jaws were available.
