[Nfbmt] New Israeli invention for the visually impaired

[Rebecca Stewart]

Hi guys.  I watched the video.  It looks impressive on the surface but I
think it would be difficult to read things like newspapers with it because
how would a person be able to point the glasses at the print in such a way
to get the device to read an article from beginning to end without getting
it all turned around?  I can't of course "see" the video so perhaps the
device does not have trouble compensating for this but on the surface it is
very exciting.  I did not hear any price for the item or how to order it.  I
am going to do some research into the device and I will let you guys know if
I order one and then at our next meeting if I do get one, I'll let everyone
try it out so everyone can experience it.

Let us know what you think when you buy it smile.
I saw this and thought it would be way to much for me to handle when
traveling.
Sure would be neat though.
