@AmpBenzScientist you alive?
I might have medium sized reversing job for you. Ill send link to product soon. I want its hw and fw reversed. Its weakness its quite unstable. I wanna fix that and provide open source version of stable product at minimum bom.
@PawelK Legally blind or completely blind?
@AmpBenzScientist
Seeing blackness only blind. Eyeless id roughly say.
@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.
@AmpBenzScientist
Thats one of my goals.
@AmpBenzScientist
Heres rough idea.

I still need to see daredevil.
@PawelK It wasn't a good movie.
@AmpBenzScientist
I meant i never saw it but would like to learn idea from there.
@PawelK I'm HFA. I can sense rpms from vibrations and I do have some degree of echolocation. All my senses are hypersensitive. This is why I only use certain pens.
@AmpBenzScientist
I was never diagnosed but i have some symptoms of a too but i am rather mfa.
@AmpBenzScientist
But i have no superpowers like you do.
@PawelK It doesn't stop me from walking into traffic or breaking bones in my toes from a coffee table. At least I have a weird pain tolerance lol. I set them myself and wrapped them with a splint. I went back to work after that.
@AmpBenzScientist
Considering how risky i walk in traffic its miracle i didnt game over yet.
@PawelK Are you really Polish?
@PawelK it was just a question about a Russian watchmaker. I wouldn't be caught wearing Oligarch jewelry so I would rather have a CCCP labeled Paketa than a new one.
@AmpBenzScientist
Not sure even they are still in action.
@PawelK They cost more than a Rolex for a base model. The make their own movements. There are only two other watch movement makers that I know of. Paketa made instrumentation for MiG, Chernobyl and missiles.
@AmpBenzScientist
Hmmmm. Interesting.
@AmpBenzScientist
Poland and russia are totally disconnected.
@PawelK Same as always. Poland talks shit during the duration of the CCCP and doesn't look like Ukraine.
@AmpBenzScientist
Which kind of shit dya mean?
@AmpBenzScientist
Reading temple grandin opened my eyes and made me feel im not alone.
@PawelK I don't read much outside of research. I don't really care about what I means to be human. Weir zun die roboter.
@AmpBenzScientist
In a sense true. Were definitely not special.
@AmpBenzScientist
Unless one means on avg of population being specially retarded.
@PawelK I'm only asking because I want to know if Paketa still carries parts for the CCCP era watches. I have one that I want to get working well again. I assumed it was not bougie trash and I was chopping wood with it on.
@AmpBenzScientist
Ill need to check.
@PawelK No worries, I've already checked.
@AmpBenzScientist
What parts you need specifically?
@PawelK a fresh watch spring and perhaps a jewel due to how it acts.
@AmpBenzScientist
Ill lurk for those parts.
@PawelK I have Pinetime. It's freedom on my wrist.
@AmpBenzScientist
Im considering going all pine and alike for my equipment.
@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 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.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yes object detection and classification is planned.
@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.
@AmpBenzScientist
Hmm interesting idea...
@PawelK Increased surface area by about 100 units. More nerves going back to the brain and allowing more throughput.
@AmpBenzScientist
He is based i met him on fedi we talked for a month or so he is as 10x as active as me. Later he updated avatar. I asked him if he is blind. He said yes but it is being softest of his weaknesses in rough translation. Very based positive and worthwile guy. Ill cc him later for you. He has 20 years of experience in promoting web accessibility.
@AmpBenzScientist
Do you have idea how to build such thing? My blind friend says there may be massive market amongst them for such product.
