Slinger! The Smartphone Accessory that keeps it all hands-free!
The Slinger is a simple smartphone accessory designed to be worn around the neck so your phone lays comfortably at chest level. Obviously this provides a little extra insurance against dropping your smartphone, but don't underestimate this nifty accessory! Cory and Luke will demonstrate how something as simple as the Slinger can greatly enhance the usability of sophisticated apps like Oko, Aira and MORE!
Slinger's retractable strap is adjustable, meaning it can be worn like a lanyard or extended to be worn over the shoulder like a messenger bag. When you're done, just retract the cord completely and tuck it securely under the Slinger's case. The case itself doubles as an adjustable phone stand and includes a secure slot for credit cards, cash and ID.
Our Assistive Technology Specialists: Cory and Luke, will teach you everything you need to know in order to get Slingin' confidently. If you have any additional questions about the Slinger, please add those down in the comment section and we will endeavor to help!

Thank you this was very helpful
Glad to hear it!
Whole milk 😂
the slinger works with the oko app when crossing the street
Yes, we demonstrate that in the video
none of these items you have shown would not use any of them
Fair enough! Each to their own I say
would not want to wear these things all day or out in public
Fair enough!
you have left out tow nueyes and envision
At the time we didn't have those devices available
i see their is a joke in their somewhere
That is wonderful!
Bari said the buttons have been changed. Has the camera also been updated for better resolution? Also, I don’t have a computer, only an IPad Pro. How would I get the software updates? Thanks- Linda😢
We're not sure Linda, we actually thought this device had been discontinued.
High fives to Will Walsh! If I were to put together an A.T. dream team, he would be on it. Cheers!
He's a great guy!
When you show what the iris sees do we see the jiggy lines like a bad TV reception? What is the cost?
No, that was a side effect of trying to film the screens. I believe the retail is somewhere around $4000
Does fantastic I’m legally blind and could use one of those some point in time
I'ts a great tool!
@@VisionForwardTechConnect yes it is I enjoy using assist technologies I know on my iPhone I use assistive technology all the time! Such as Seeing AI and be my eyes
@@larrytestut4655 Those are great apps!
@@VisionForwardTechConnect yes it is!
Great video, but you didn't mention how you might get the text-to-speech icon in Edge if it isn't already there.
If it's not there then I assume the page isn't readabe!
God bless you all those people🙏
Thanks!
We are implementing NaivLens at our university inside and outside buildings to provide useful detailed location info for both sighted and blind/low vision individuals
Awesome!
🙏🏽🤍🤍🤍🤍🩵🩵🩵🩵🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏🏽
That’s really awesome!
Indeed!
The music, bro.
Yeah, i don't know what we were thinking with that!
did Luke say mexican vito ?? , we have never heard of that cant find it either , cant find it here ..
No, I think you mean Invicto, it's a Mexican restaurant in Vernon Hills, Illinois
@@VisionForwardTechConnect oh oh .. gotcha , tha nks
I don't use the Uber eats app any more. Too expensive and The app is becoming more inaccessible over time.
Cory likes Door Dash, maybe use that instead! Accessibility on iOS for Uber Eats seems OK though.
I schedule in advance for airport departures.
Good idea!
remember can you ask the person on the live stream that you did somewhere and 2023 can you run the real Sam pocket operating system on any Samsung device I don’t mean to remember I mean I don’t really mean remember sorry just ignore the bit that it says remember mistakes please reply soon bye
Unfortunately you can't run the Real Sam on any phone, you have to buy a phone from them
Dice world is a really good game but some of the games I don’t have money for I don’t know where I can find free audio games For iPhone
The Seattle Lighthouse is using NaviLens on vending machines and in the garden / lunch area. Thanks for the tip on getting the kit. Yes, make a My Slinger video
That's a great use of NaviLens! We'll do a Slinger video as soon I as I can convince Cory...
Nice video thanks would love to know if this could be using Australia hopefully the they will have a website or email
Yeah, reach out to them and ask!
nice, always fun listening to you two :D
Glad you enjoy!
Hi can you get this up in Canada
Yes, you can download the app anywhere and request codes through the app, which are then mailed to you and you can print them out.
Thanks guys for making these videos.
Thanks for watching!
What do you think of NaviLens? Which alternative apps would you recommend for these use cases? Please let us know in the comments! Thanks again for watching! Join us next time, and be sure to subscribe!
Why don’t they include a second battery? I am thinking about buying one within the next two weeks. I contacted Irusvision via email. They promptly resolved saying someone would be contacting me. It has been about 2 weeks and no one had reached out.
Wonderful review, thank you. Are there maps or haptic navigation options, like WayBand or Sunu ?
Yes, when you are using the Maps app to get directions the watch will vibrate when you need to turn, and will vibrate on the side that you need to turn on.
Could you use a magnetic battery pack to increase duration?
I believe that Eyedaptic have a Y cable that splits the USB C port out into two USB C ports. You can then connect an external battery into one of these for increased battery life.
We here you
That is awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it! We enjoyed making it 😀
I use the app on my phone and I love it. 4:40
Good to hear it!
@@VisionForwardTechConnect yes it is
What is the pixel count of the inspire camera?
That's a good question. IrisVision don't seem to state that information anywhere.
Thanks, you tips will be very useful to me,
Good to hear!
Envision AI is a POS. Seeing AI document reader should not be compared to Be My AI scene description.
Sorry you feel that way about Envision! We think the comparison between Seeing AI and Be My AI is valid since both can be used to read text, and both are valid tools that can be used for the task shown.
this app is awesome. finally on android!!!
Yep and it works great there too!
i'll be looking forward to receiving my pen friend. now i can label my food products, and i won't have to ask if i have the strawberry banana yogurt or plain strawberry.
Both of those yogurts sound tasty, but it definitely helps to know which one you're getting :-)
I love the use of humor and sketches to review products. Keep it up!
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi guys, I'm using a full sized Freedom Scientific Topaz video magnifier. One of the features with this magnifer is that the screen and arm that holds it can angle right or left 45 degrees. This is useful as I can seat in front my computer monitor and just look to my right and read a doc on my magnifier. Unfortunately I'm not sure the Topaz is still being made..
That's a great point! The Topaz is still being made luckily :-)
Great presentation. I mostly have been using my phone as a magnifier or with the Seeing AI app. I might consider something like the Merlin Mini or similar if my eyes get much worse, but for now it is hard to justify the expense.
Agreed! The expense is always the hard bit to justify!
🙏🏽🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
What do you think of the Merlin Mini? Do you prefer a different device? Please let us know in the comments! Thanks again for watching! Join us next time, be sure to subscribe!
My mother has retinitis pigmentosa will this help with her complete lack of peripheral vision?
Hi, these are mainly designed for central vision loss and so may not be appropriate unfortunately.
I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet ButOrcam have now released generation three of my eye pro it has a new AI assistant I would happily advise you to check their website
Hi there guys. I thought when I clicked on this video that it was going to be about screen reader accessibility. The first minute or so all I heard was Music and I was about to go away when I saw you people start talking and you’re not talking about accessibility you’re talking about O.J. Simpson So I’m not sure exactly what the point is Good luck with your stream 4:36
cool
😊
I have a question why my outlook email reader no longer reads?
You mean the text to speech function built into Outlook? That's weird that it would stop reading.
Too bad the route navigation is not in the Android version. I could sure use it there. I have the ARx Vision headset. This would pair great with that: bone conduction headset and built in camera and haptics.
Yeah, that would be a great integration!
This was suppose to be a how to video??
yep
