What it will do
A quick look
What you are pointing at, in one line. For “what's here?” while you are walking.
A closer look
The whole scene, described carefully. A room, a landscape, a gathering of people.
Reading text
Timetables, price tags, post, the leaflet in a box of medicine. Text is read exactly, and a long press spells it out letter by letter.
A screen you can see
“Yellow is where you touch, white is where you read.” The colours come from how colour vision and low vision actually work.
We will announce the release date in the news.
Patents pending
Parts of what Lupe does are the subject of patent applications. These are the problems they set out to answer.
- The reading runs start to finish, with no way inYou are handed a long passage about what is in front of you, and all you can do is wait until it reaches the part you wanted.
- The same description, whatever you came forWanting to know whose business card this is, and wanting to copy down the phone number, call for quite different levels of detail.
- Different scenes, different orders of importanceA notice board, a shelf of goods, a control panel. What matters first is not the same in each, yet they are read the same way.
