One of the things Dr. Teller mentioned in the machine he's developing is
the ability to read signs at a distance. I could really use that. I work
in midtown Manhattan, and I find the GPS pretty unreliable there, because
of all the tall buildings. Even here in Jersey, it only gets me close to
something. There are still at least 2 or 3 doors to choose from.
I think it would be great to be able to read an address or sign. I can
imagine walking through a mall and being able to read store signs, or walk
through an airport and read gates, or the sign saying Concourse C and an
arrow, or even my perennial favorite, the sign for the ladies' restroom.
Then, if I could use the same device to walk into a store and read the
price tag on an item I'm interested in ... well, sign me up!
Being able to read at a distance or close up is something I could really use.
