Apps that see

I don’t normally feature apps, my interests lie more in physical devices. This week though I’m making an exception to show you one that I found fascinating.

Here’s the video link. https://youtu.be/eEOOGpjSexI

This video follows on from the Kurzweil reader I featured a few months ago. The functionality of a reading device that cost £80,000 in 1979 is now available for free in a smartphone app - and that’s just one of the things it does. It’s really quite amazing but also fun.

I’ve been working hard to catch up on things after my brief holiday. I was only away for three nights but somehow that made me fall behind by over a week. The camera review I partially shot while I was away didn't seem to hit the spot. I'm not surprised, that's why I stopped featuring cameras...most people are understandably happy with their smartphone camera.

Onward and upward. Take care and as always thanks for your support.

UPDATE: I’ve added in a section (starting at 19:53) that explains how a phones built-in accessibility features enable their operation by someone who can’t read the screen. Adding this in necessitated a full re-upload, so the version embedded and linked above is now the new longer edit.
