Welcome back to another Tech
Welcome back to another Tech Connect by the Vision Forward Association! The new eSight Go is finally here! So today, our Assistive Technology Experts are excited to unbox this long anticipated upgrade and share their initial thoughts with you all!
This modern wearable magnifier was produced by Gentex, who seek to improve upon the old eSight 4 by bringing you the same great features we've come to expect, such as magnified image stabilization (and a few new ones like tilt adjustment!) but with more reliability and with a longer battery life. However all of that was to be contingent on the device being more comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
A common complaint with previous versions was that users often found their neck muscles strained after prolonged use. This new design for the eSight Go is much lighter, clocking in at a featherweight 170 grams. Compare that with the eSight 4 which was 560 grams, or modern VR goggles which can be significantly heavier! Sounds too good to be true? How did they cut so much weight you may ask? Well they did improve the overall design, and trim where they could, a significant caveat is that they offloaded some of that weight onto a wired battery pack which is shaped like a horseshoe and worn over the shoulders and loose around the neck. This neck battery holds up to 3 hours of charge before being easy swapped out for a fresh battery and 3 more hours of use.
