Vision Buddy 2022 Update - New Features And Accessories

Thank you for making this channel and sharing it with the world. My son is blind from Retinal Detachment in both eyes. He went blind at 20 and he is now 28. Your videos have helped him greatly. 👍🏽👏🏾

One of my high school students and I watched this today with our mouths open and we both want one! I can see the uses in the classroom! She also plays video games at home and she loves to read. I have another student who could use it as well as she has a Connect 12 that is not only extra baggage to carry but it's on loan. I have to get their folks together to start GoFund me accounts for them. This is very exciting, but then I'm the old teacher for kids with VI who gets very excited over technology we find for our kids! Since I discovered your channel, my braille student with low vision and I watch your videos in class.

Hey Sam, just found your channel, really great videos, thanks!

Great video as always! The ability to use Vision Buddy to play a gaming system is very cool. I personally am not a big gamer but my son and wife love to play Xbox and it woud be awesome to have the ability to join them doing something they enjoy.

Hi Sam. I’m very impressed with the Vision BUDDY. I am very interested in the new update where you can connect it to a computer and or gaming system and play video games. The one thing though that I hope that the developers at Vision BUDDY do is upgrade the video gaming experience to where you can actually play a video game competitively.

Thank you very much here from spain

Thank you for the video.

Thanks Sam. It has some great features. Of course as I’ve told you before, the one solution I am looking for is reading close caption. Reading subtitles in Real time. guessing this doesn’t have it or you would’ve mentioned it.

Thank you for this video

great info thanks for sharing

Thanks for another well done and comprehensive review. The feature to connect directly to the computer is very similar to what I have been looking for. The review lowered my expectation of how useful it may be. Are there any other devices that have similar ability to connect to a computer?

Thanks for all your videos. I've recently been trying to see what's out there to help my 85-year old dad with MD continue doing family history research on the computer. Magnifiers and contrast just aren't cutting it anymore. Your reviews of Vision Buddy and IrisVision give me some hope. How do the two compare?

For the TV watching aspect of the device I really wish it wasn't a headset. Personally the whole part of sitting on the couch is more about being with my family and not feeling separate. headsets are so isolating, being able to mirror the TV to a tablet like device is more what I'd like to see. I used to do all my streaming through a PC connected to the TV and had a tablet that I would remote desktop to the PC and it was amazing... AppleTV and the new shareplay feature is the closest I've found to working the same way.

Because assistive tech can be so expensive, I would be interested to see a comparison of features between assistive tech headsets as compared to more commercial and cheaper options like Oculus or HTC Vive.

It looks like they’ve made some nice improvements since I last tried the headset, but if I’m going to use my computer screen, I will more than likely just use Windows Magnifier or something where I don’t have to wear a headset. I also like that they are getting closer to supporting interactive media like games. I’m not quite there yet, because much of what I play requires pretty tight timing, like action games, shooters, or even racing games. If you have input leg, it’s really easy to over or understeer when trying to drive.

Love the channel and certainly like the look of the vision buddy. Do you know whether it could link with an android smartphone via an HDML/USBC adaptor? Take care and keep up the good work

Awesome video, the trial version should be on its way to me shortly!

I just got mine today omg wow crazy cool I got the tv package 3.0 I forgot that plays games too right

So I'm returning the vision buddy, here's why Feedback on vision buddy Video magnifier mode It just seems to have a tad bit of lag when you look around at various objects It does help in low light conditions, but not as good as my iPhone does when I use its magnifier TV hub I have an Apple TV, it was basically too slow to use as far as navigating menus and such using the Siri remote like you normally do when its directly connected to your TV Mini CCTV I made sure everything was connect right, it would switch into the external camera mode, but the screen just goes black

Great tutorial! I just got my new VB and was wondering when in TV mode, is there supposed to be a delay or lag on the headset from what is in real time on the tv? Thanks
