80202. Thank you for recommending the app. Is it too late to advocate since they have likely already voted?

Who knows if it will have a future? I understand the notion that companies should probably pay the beta testers. But that comes from a lack of understanding. I'm going to do it.

I am the VP of Marketing for the startup HapWare, pioneering assistive technology for individuals who are blind and low-vision. You expressed interest in beta testing our product, ALeye (haptic wristband and AI-powered glasses), through the National Federation of the Blind.

These insights are invaluable in ensuring we stay true to our ?Nothing about us, without us? approach to design. We are launching a beta program and are looking for individuals who can apply the HET in social environments. The beta test will last 2 weeks and during this time you will have the opportunity to be part of the development process. You get to provide feedback and brainstorm with engineers from the HapWare team. You are expected to use the device during your normal work activities, provide feedback on your experience, and suggest improvements.
