see the mountains in the distance if Vaughn Felix is enjoying the view of the San Francisco Bay it might not seem like a big deal except that if Vaughn is legally blind I actually have a big clients thought that takes up 98% of my visual field and so I see shapes and shadows on the outside and I can't read and I can't see distances when I was seven years old I was hit by a car and it took about a year for them to realize that I had something called Stargardt's which is a juvenile form of macular degeneration oh it's got like a leaf on the inside of it that is so cool at the ticket picture Instagram later a special video hits it from a side let's have on see everything from a close-up cookie fortune to a coffee menu on the wall to a distant bridge Mendo see know Yvonne took these photos with the esight headset so we could see what she's seen be able to travel on my own I can't believe that I can get to an airport go through customs go through security buy my seat and be able to do that all by myself I don't have to have somebody holding my hand what it does is it is it uses a video camera to capture what's going on in front of someone in real time allows the user to control how that video is processed and then through a series of advanced optics and very high-resolution display it presents that video image to the user in such a way that it overcomes in many cases the cause of their vision loss and allows them to see very well again if on first tried esight several years ago I remember putting them on and looking up and I saw my husband who had been married to for eight years and had never seen before and my two month old son who we just brought home from the hospital the company's latest headset called a site three is ten thousand dollars it's lighter and sleeker than the previous two versions the battery can last up to eight nine hours a day it has 21 and a half megapixel image sensor it has Wi-Fi has bluetooth with this controller if one can adjust the image so it looks good to her magnifying or making the same brighter is all at her fingertips if we look at across all comers like regardless of the cause of the vision loss it seems to work almost for it for almost four out of every five people for Yvonne the esight has given her the freedom to go about her everyday life including working and reading to her kids without relying on others I can golf with them I've gone ziplining but I do play basketball with my kids the only two cases where esight is not recommended is for driving and swimming I love when people come up and ask me what I'm wearing because it's a door opener it allows me to talk about low vision and that there are solutions today's oysters you
