Welcome back! If you caught our last blog post, you're already in the loop about the amazing offline upgrades on the Envision Glasses (Version 2.2.0). Now, let's dive deeper into the other fantastic enhancements that have been introduced in the last update. Haven't read our previous post yet? No worries, you can catch up right here.

Beyond the remarkable offline improvements, we've fine-tuned the Envision Glasses to make your experience even better. We've sped up object and people detection, made exploring your surroundings more seamless, and elevated the accuracy of our Describe Scene feature. Here’s how:

Expanded Object Catalog: Your feedback is gold to us, and we've listened closely. Our Envision Glasses now recognize a broader range of objects, thanks to insights from our incredible community. Doors, door handles, stairs and much more items can now be identified. Your world just got even more accessible.

New Clock-Notation Positioning: We've introduced an innovation that's a game-changer. With clock-notation positioning, you'll have an unparalleled sense of orientation, making object discovery and navigation smoother and faster. Guided by auditory cues, the Envision Glasses lead you to your target using a clock face reference. For instance, if the door is at 9 o'clock and the window is at 2 o'clock, you'll know exactly where to go. This feature not only streamlines your daily tasks but also adds a touch of safety.

Enhanced Explore Functionality: We've reimagined the Explore feature to be even more powerful. It can now identify an expanded range of objects. Paired with clock notation, you'll not only enjoy heightened spatial awareness but also the freedom to independently explore your surroundings. The world is truly at your fingertips.

Improved Describe Scene: Our commitment to excellence led us to refine the Describe Scene feature extensively. Brace yourself for even more precise and detailed descriptions of your environment. You'll be amazed at how the Envision Glasses paint a clearer picture of what's around you.
