The esight Corporation have created a special pair of glasses the esight glasses, which allow legally blind people the ability to see.
The glasses are around $15, 000 for a pair. The glasses capture both video and an image then create enhancements
so people with low vision can view them. The glasses allow the user eyes to perceive more than usual.
Thanks to Kathy older sister Yvonne Felix, who is also legally blind, the esight Corporation donated a pair of glasses to Kathy on the day Aksel was born.
Yvonne was unable to see her children when they were born and wanted her sister to have a different experience.
Kathy was amazed at how clearly she could see her son which was the first baby she has ever been able to see in her life.
since we were children. esight glasses, an amazing new technology that I also use, helped her see the birth of her son.
Yvonne helped to raise money for Kathy to own a pair of the esight glasses so now she is able to see her son anytime.
She said the glasses help to read directions for his products, help to dress him safely,
So she was very adamant about getting the glasses for me and work with me to use them,
Beitz. hen I knew I was getting the glasses, I got very excited. I knew then I would be able to read books to the baby
Yvonne is working to raise money for others that are blind to be able to purchase esight glasses for their daily use as well.

#You can now feel virtual reality with new gloves called Gloveone You would have sensed virtual reality through sight
Now, you can touch the virtual objects, thanks to a new pair of gloves. Gloveone, the new green and black gloves from Spain-based tech company Neurodigital Technologies, will let you actually feel sensations like shape
and weight when interacting with virtual objects. The developers claim that the wearers will be able to feel rain and fire,
The gloves also include a 9-Axis inertial measurement unity (IMU) sensor, which can be placed beneath the gloves.
An IMU sensor, often used to manoeuvre aircraft, can record velocity, orientation and gravitational forces using accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers.
The company describes the sensation of wearing these gloves as a ealistic perceptual illusion meaning that you can feel the weight of a virtual object the same as it is in real life
and created a Kickstarter page to finance manufacturing the gloves. People can buy the gloves fitted in three sizes.
Each nti-bacterial, sweat-proofpair features a Bluetooth wireless connection and offers more than four hours of battery life.
