hi, Just jumping in here and have to admit I don't have an Apple Watch yet. I recently pre-ordered a buzz clip. this is a sonar device which will vibrate when things are in front of me, put simply. now, I am wondering about the possibilities of working with the Apple Watch. if, instead of a clip and a device which is larger because it needs to vibrate et cetera, there could be a small proximity detector set in a ring which could Bluetooth to my watch, The watch could do the vibrating for me and all I would have to do is point…
it seems to me that we are entering the era of add-ons, albeit specific add-ons for different disability related requirements, to work with our watches/phones/iPads. I wonder if anyone from the buzz clip community are here on this list? I would love some feedback, even if it's only in vibration form.
