> Envision Glasses: Exploring Additional Features & Answering Questions
> Wednesday, May 4, 2022, from 1PM to 2PM Eastern
> 
> Did you miss previous presentations on the new Envision glasses but would like an opportunity to learn about them? Perhaps you previously attended, but you want to explore their capabilities again or learn about the latest features. Join Ian Ramos and Zhi Huang from Access Ingenuity as we look at the exciting new Envision glasses. Envision glasses use the cutting-edge Google Glasses platform as a way for visually impaired users to gain access to their environment. They give you the ability to scan text, be it handwritten notes, books, or your favorite recipe. Using the built-in camera, you can call someone and have them see from your point of view to help you pick out the perfect outfit or help you navigate a challenging obstacle. Learn more about the additional features these glasses offer and how they differ from other wearable technologies currently on the market. Attendees from previous presentations on the glasses can still benefit from this since we will introduce new features. Last time the focus was Read and Call features, and this one will primarily focus on Identify and Find features and the various settings.
> Learning Outcomes
> How Scene Description can offer more independence.
> How the glasses use cutting-edge technology to help you do more.
> Explore new features since our last Envision glasses presentation.
> Answer your additional questions.

> Wednesday, May 11, 2022, from 1PM to 2PM Eastern

> In many cases, the ability to save, open, or browse for files within various Windows programs uses a very similar interface. The key is to understand this interface while working with JAWS using either a QWERTY keyboard or Focus braille display to help you become more efficient with the above tasks. Join Rachel Reeves, Marisa Church, and Zhi Huang from Access Ingenuity with Joe McDaniel from Vispero to explore the Save As, Open With and Browse dialog boxes to understand how it works with JAWS and Windows. It is important to note that this presentation will benefit those who want to know how to manage files while using JAWS with either a QWERTY keyboard or a Focus braille display. Note that everybody is welcome and can benefit from this presentation. If you are a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI), this presentation is approved for ACVREP continuing education credit.
> Learning Outcomes
