First of all I'd like to thank the applevis member who introduced me to these glasses. I can't rememberyour name but i'm sure you'll know who you are when you come across this so thank you very much.
I'm very interested in the seleste glasses, I'm actually going to be talking to the founder on Tuesday/Wednesday depending on what they're doing about adding mapping functionality to their glasses.
They're planning on doing it and would like my input.
They're thinking of adding google maps to the glasses.
I found google maps to not really work for me, but that could just be me.
I do know that if you're in the US there's more accessibility options but in the UK they don't exist.
having said that; I can totally see the AI overlay making the maps app amazing!
So applevis community If you could have a mapping app on a pair of glasses what would it have to do for you to make it a winner?
For me I have the following: 1. I'll need to talk to Ela, the assisstent, and have her/it be as hands on or hands off as I need.
In other words, If I want turn by turn directions, I should be able to ask for that, if I just want street names spoken out loud as I walk past, I should be able to turn that on and off, same with busses trains and all that.
2. This is a maybe and i'm honestly unsure of it but, being able to tell someone when to cross the road, yeah I know; the mobility instructors wouldn't agree with that at all and I can see why so perhaps i'll move away from that one.
3. If I go into a shop/store, I need to say, scan for raspberries for example and it should be able to walk me to ial 1, 2, and 3, then scan for raspberries.
3.1 I should be able to ask where the counter/trolleys/carts are in the shop/store and it should be able to guide me to them.
4. Saved routes,, I should be able to ask it to save my roote and it should do so.
5. This is another unsure one, but what do you guys think about haptic feedback on the arms of the glasses? Tap left to go left, right to go right and the ability to turn that on or off if you want/need it?
That's all I've got for now so give me any of your ideas.
If I've missed a feature you must have, and no; making a sandwidge doesn't count, please let me know, this could be a game changer for us.

@lottie.
Why would invision be talking about that? IS it that CSun thing?
Yeh, they posted on Mastodon...
that they had something new to announce. I completely made up the Meta bit, I don't expect that, but they do sell a pair of glasses.
AH, ok.
I think i'll stick to reddit for now. If it goes down then I'll check out that mastidon thing.
