Hello, I installed the Be My Eyes update allowing me to connect the app to my Meta smart glasses. I had to restart my iPhone to finish the process but it is working fine now. My first test was to look around my front yard. I simply said. Hey meta, be my eyes and I was connected to a be my eyes volunteer after about a 30 second wait. She described everything perfectly, once I removed my hat, which was partially blocking the camera's view.
My next test was to see if the volunteer could tell me when a traffic light changed to the walk sign. This time I did not get a connection so I relied on my OKO app, which works well at this particular intersection. The next call I made was to find a cell phone repair store in a strip mall. She red the store names until we found the store and she guided me to the front door. Unfortunately, the store wasn't opened, so I'll have to get a new screen protector another time. As I walked home, I tried for the walk sign again. This time the call went through in a few seconds, and the volunteer could easily see the light and told me when it turned to walk. (I also used the OKO app as a back up ). I haven't used the Be My Eyes app in the past, but I can see that this hands free approach will be a game changer! I am looking forward to using it to navigate airports and traveling independently. PS, I used a 3 finger double tap to turn off voice over speech while using Be My Eyes to cut down the audio input. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
