    Thanks for the nice videos, Sam! 10:29 I couldn't help but notice that he didn't look at what he was trying to pick up.
  • @dianamiller7637
    Wow, feeling overwhelmed…exciting to see devices. So much to lear,!
  • @terryivey5374
    A lot of great things to see ......oh goodness . I just cracked up . You know when that thing that keeps you acting proper isn't working ? I have been SO depressed as last bits of my sight slipping away, but your opening line had me laughing . TY very much for the needed laugh....in appropriate as it was. I was laughing more at myself. Great video, lots of info.
  • @tombert73
    Great video, Sam! Thank you for sharing your experience at ATIA. There are so many helpful technologies out there, I wish I could try them all. Definitely going to check a few of these out.
  • @farelheart5031
    Great video… It would be very good some time to be able to go to one of those conferences and see all the equipment in person. Thanks for sharing the video
  • I love the Premier feature! Makes me want to watch so bad! lol this one’s going to be good!
  • @adamroberge1201
    That was A great invention with great products for people like us Hopefully I can make it down there some year. Plus it’s extremely cold in Massachusetts at that time of year. Will you do a video ofCSSUN too?
  • Great wrap up Sam and thanks for updating everyone on Envision too. Good news, Envision will be at CSUN in March in CA so please drop by our booth (1011) and check out the Envision Glasses in person.
  • @karenmac7990
    G'day Sam Wow what a great video. Thanks for sharing.
  • @Mike-wv2pn
    Would be great to hear about sports or activities at these events. Like adaptive golf and skiing etc....
  • I really regret I did not go.. that was the coldest weekend we have had in over 4 years.. At least the sun came out eventually
  • @CharlieCollins1
    I felt like I was there and I am so glad I was NOT. Great job capturing the essence of the event. Also loved the slow motion out at the pool. Loving the A74 I bet.....
  • I should explore and travel to involve myself git visual impairment.
  • Something like the vision buddy computer link is what I have been waiting years for!! It would be amazing if you could get your hands on this new feature and give one of you great unbiased reviews!!! please, please, please!
  • @davidyoung3237
    Hey Sam just watching one of your videos for the 1st time In agers but so glad I did there is so much adaptive technology out there for us VI'S these days it made me realise I had an eschenbach monocular tuckked away in a draw I bought it when I was in year 7 in primary school so that's 1997 and what do you know- it works as well today as when I took it out of the box in 1997 - by well 1st tome and only buy once ! It can't have been more than AUD $160 Brand new but i haven't used it in years as as a guy I feel very self conscious using it In a public place -especeally on a night out as I can only imagine what the women around me are thinking; and hence I don't use it -for all it would be EXTREAY beneficial (hence why I bought it in the 1st place) to save bring accused of filming innaproperatly have you experienced similar and how do I get around that I supose the fact I now rely on a whopping white cane is kind of a big give away that I might genuinely need the other device?? - I wasn't cane trained till I was 17 so 2002 but I still feel very self coconscious your thoughts would be appreachieated ! Keep the content comming and I'll check my subscription to ensure it's up to date! David Young 37 Brisbane Australia
  • @AarronS
    What are the best devices for completely blind people ?
  • @terryspies8591
    This is very interesting. As a visually impaired person I enjoy seeing things like this period however commas some of the people need to slow down when they give their website or phone number as it is difficult to understand them with the background noise and they do not speak very clearly.
