@PawelK Something similar could be used for reading at a faster pace than braille. Perhaps it could become sensitive enough to where they could play video games.

@PawelK So 360 degree vision sensing with just lidar. It could be made more complex st object detection could be integrated. They could feel the various sights in the same direction or sense moving objects and speed by the feedback. A tactile vest would allow for a large portion of their body to be used in place of natural vision.

@PawelK The area around the person could be mapped and communicated back as a series of sensations in each direction. It would be crude but a blind person could feel what other see.

@PawelK It wasn't a good movie.

@PawelK @lupyuen Think about how the eardrum works. There is the membrane, bone and nerve. I think scientists used a simple tapping method to get the bone to move via kinetic energy and the nerves picked it up.

@PawelK There is much more that could be done than this. Did you ever see Daredevil the movie? Echolocation has been noted among some blind people. Low power lidar could be used as a navigation aid. Self contained and Roombas have been using it for years.

@PawelK @lupyuen The us military had a system decades ago that was integrated into helmets that allowed for silent communication by bypassing the eardrum. This was so they could retain their hearing and not have audible sound.

@PawelK @lupyuen No I'm interested now. I just think that a more integrated solution would work better.

@PawelK Legally blind or completely blind?

@PawelK @lupyuen I can probably help to find the datasheets. This is not something that I could start up immediately. I'm interested in it but I don't have the device. Someone close to me has cancer and I've known about it for a couple of months now. I didn't know that it was Stage 3-4 Cancer.

@PawelK @lupyuen I've got a few things going on currently so I can't really take it on. I've started with the Cube and it's binaries, I have picked up a development job that was left uncompleted and I want to find out why the Pine Something SX1276 isn't working properly.
I would enjoy it if I had the time and hardware in hand. What do you mean by hardware RE? Schematics?

@PawelK I wouldn't want to turn down work but there is more capable hardware that would not need this to be implemented. The result would be a superior product in hardware and firmware.

@jmw150 I was included in a publication this semester. The number of genuine fucks given by the faculty is the square root of negative one.

@freemo he graduated from my University with my degree in the summer of love, got married and was sent to Vietnam.

@freemo That was the same war that had bastards spitting on returning soldiers. When your country hates you, you had to kill armed children shooting at your platoon and you saw war crimes daily. It was fucked up. The veterans of Vietnam I've talked to would cry or avoid talking about it. One was very close to me, he talked about an ambush on his base. His CO ran to deliver coordinates to him and he got shot in the back of the head and collapsed on my friend. Over a dozen Americans died in the attack, they stopped counting the vietnamese attackers after around 40 something. Those were only the ones found dead on the base.

@freemo Those troops were armed with M14 rifles or M1 Garrand rifles. 7.62 NATO and the 30-06 (7.62x63mm round effective at 960m). A single shot would kill or severely wound a person. The 7.62 NATO round was originally the .308 Winchester big game round. It's good for bears.

@freemo That was justified. The protesters were more violent than portrayed. It only takes one gunshot to put a squad in kill mode. Police would have killed more protesters. They are better at shooting unarmed people in the back.

I'm wondering if Covid affects the brain as I am more quickly angered and will react differently. It could be the gastrointestinal issues, fatigue and pain in my chest. I've had it twice with a 14 month break. I had a faster reaction this time with a shorter duration. It was approximately 3 days in duration of symptoms compared to the 5 before. I don't want to try my luck with a third time. It's the last consecutive single digit prime number.

Still recovering from Covid's aftermath. I checked my blood O2 readings and confusion, 99%-100% O2. I thought it was broken so I held my breath after exhaling. At first it didn't read and I was already starting to have to suppress the panic. It dropped to 94%. I filled my lungs with the chemicals and it jumped back to 99%. I think my lungs are in good shape.

If someone hijacks my work, make sure to give them plenty of respect. Not going well with the University rn. No line between my work and their bullshit in their eyes.
