[Electronics-Talk] Orcam

[Jim McCarthy]

I have seen the device maybe three times and actually had one in our inventory for a while. I think your conclusions are the same ones I have, that is that for the most part a person who is totally blind really won’t be able to master the pointing. It probably is possible if one works at it for a bit but at that price point, I would want to be sure I could do it before making the investment.
