Oseyeris has developed the Macaron, which is a handheld device that pairs
with an app on your iPhone. The Macaron can measure almost anything using
its tape measure feature or long range feature. Not only can you measure
your refrigerator, window, or bookshelf, but you can also measure the
dimensions of a room, and you can even take your body measurements.

Measurements are spoken to the blind user, and can also be saved to a folder
on a cloud service, like Dropbox or iCloud, for future reference.

The Macaron also has a navigation feature that detects objects in your path.
The navigation feature provides audio and haptic feedback that allows a
blind person to tell what objects are in their path, and what direction the
object is in, and how far away it is.
Future versions of the Macaron will allow the user to leave breadcrumbs
while navigating. This will make it easier to find points of interest.
You can find out more by visiting  the Oseyeris website.

There you can listen to audio recordings explaining all the Macaron's
features and register as a tester of the device.
