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.
