And holographic sound processing would be... Sounds cool, but I have no clue what it is.
Have a great day, Alex

I'd actually like to do something with holographic sound
processing but
again usability is the thing. I keep thinking though that
glasses are a
good platform that hasn't been explored enough. Oh and I'm with
you
although I'd rather have a digital interface so I could plug in
devices,
mixing data and displays over environmental vision for example.
Stem cells
would rock though, I'm there for either option. As I've said in
the past,
my grey matter is available for really cheap for anyone with a
decent test
plan.;)

I'm trying to imagine something vibrating on my head as I'm
wearing
glasses. Kind of reminds me of the FSRS. You can read more
about it at:
http://www.eyeplus2.com/FRSIndex.html
From experience, this system is not really all that conducive to
travel.
As for having something constantly beeping in my ear, that would
drive me
insane. Imagine listening to something that sounds like a truck
backingup
everytime you were approaching somethihng. This reminds me of
the whole
concept of seeing with sound, which to me while seemingly a good
idea,
really isn't conducive to travel either. I thiknk I'll wait
until stem
cell technology gets good enough for me to regrow my eyes
thanks. Until
then, I'll just rely on my cane skills and my awesome sendero
GPS.

I wish you could mount that on glasses! Have them either vibrate
or beep
in your ear. Leave the hands out of it!

Question: how can you operate a cane/dog, gps/bn, and mini guide
all at
the same time? I had a hard enough time with just the cane and
mini
guide, but I was amazed when I had an opportunity to use the
mini guide
(a device like it anyway). I avoided countless collisions with
people
in a very crowded school that my cane would not have picked up
because
of how short I have to hold the cane in those crowds. I have
just not
had the money to get a mini guide, plus I have found my cane to
be quite
sufficient... until I run into something (figuratively and
literally)
where I realize that one of those magic Milky Way bars (as
another
poster put it) would have been quite handy.Also, for those interested, the device sends out an ultrasonic
beam from
one of the two front ports. The other port senses the
reflection of
that beam and sends the strength of the reflection to a
processor which
tells the vibrating motor how fast to go (in my case it used
pulses; the
closer together the pulses were, the closer the object).
Have a great day, Alex

This is what I use as well. The GPS can only be as accurate asishumanly possible and it will not help you find anything that specifically. The mini guide has saved me many times trying tofindpoles, benches etc. It's thankfully not too expensive. www.senderogroup.com Good luck!
