Carrie you got me thinking when you talked about riding a scooter. It would be great to have accessible scooters. I would love to have a self driving electric scooter. That would be awesome!
Thanks Carrie for another interesting and informative video indterview. The technology looks very promising. I am pleased that the developers are involving the target audience in the development process in the way that they are. I am sure that is very challenging while providing many rewarding insights. My primary use case is unique in that my rural terrain is quite irregular. For many reasons they admit that their initial iterations of the product will probably not perform well in those situations. I understand the trade-off of not initially addressing the challenging requirements of a niche audience like mine. So I will just be watching their progress with interest, cheerring them from the sidelines and providing them feedback as long as they will listen to my peculiar objectives for a product of this sort.
Ji loved it! hope one day I will be able to try it on argentina, that would be a great challenge to manage broken sidewalks.thank you for showing us this amazing technology
Did I hear him correctly? Did he say affordable at $1,500? I feel like this always happens with assistive technology like this. I want to try it out but not at that price point.
I hear you. I don't know. $1500 sounds much better than 3 or 4 thousand. But I just feel it has to work really, really well and have a lot more features and be very strong for me to pay that much. It's more of that value you get for the price than just the price. To be fair... you paid almost as much for Lindon's backpack... LOL. That's probably a better deal though. hahaha.
@@carrieonaccessibility yeah, but to be honest I paid that price for way more than Linden's backpack and to me that was worth it. Paying $1,500 for something I'm not certain about, not so much lol
He is targeting the older population of low vision and blind adults. This generation is also the ones that will not be able to pick up glide over and over to take it upstairs and over objects. I understand it's only 5 or 65 lbs, but it will get heavy and start to strain your hands. I think the release date has also been pussed back on this project. I am not sure. The app also has a monthly cost.
Yes, you're right. I believe preorders are now officially up, too. Only time will tell if it is a successful product. I think it may be a bit more viable than some of the other mobility wearables out there, but we will just need to see....
Also, if we are talking about older populations, we know perfectly well that a lot of them, and including the rest of us, have very fixed incomes. I don’t think I could justify a monthly subscription when I might only use it once a month, once a week, etc. It would be more realistic, and great! If we could have a daily price. If I need it, I’ll pay for it. If I don’t, I’m not wasting my money.
A daily price? That's super interesting... but I don't think that a business could run on something like that. I do agree though, it would just not be affordable.

Same, same! We live to dream and hopefully we'll get it one day! If not cars, gimme a scooter, c'mon! hahah.

Yes, I'm glad that they are including users during development. We will just need to see how it goes!
