 Well, we're at the Season Assistive Tech Conference and this is our first interview in three years and Ken Bradley from Eschenbach Optic has agreed to be our guinea pig, see if we can get back in the saddle here. Hi Ken, how are you doing? I'm doing great. Thanks for coming to visit today. So my mother was visually impaired and had one of the original V-tex and it was, I think it was a CRT probably and it weighed about 11,000 pounds and it was real low resolution. It was probably black and white if I remember correctly but it looks like Eschenbach Optic has come a long ways in actually the ability to maybe take your display with you, your reader. Why don't you explain first to the audience what this kind of device does? This is an example of a video magnifier and what video magnifiers do are really provide the end user with the ability to benefit from magnification which is a very common therapy that's employed for anybody that has especially central field loss eye diseases or conditions. This isn't, just for those who are only listening, this isn't a magnifying glass. This is a display with a camera that shoots down at what you want to magnify. It's a close circuit video system. So it has a camera, it has a processor, it has a display system and the combination of those things working together are now these days are capable of providing a high definition image for the user to benefit from at a wide range of magnification levels well in excess of what historically has been available especially through optical products which is also an important part of our product line. And as you had mentioned, the older units were big and cumbersome and one of the themes that we're seeing now in device design is portability and the ability to transport simply, easily and use them in multiple locations without having to duplicate the investment in technology. So this is just the latest example from Eschenbach. It's a 22 inch foldable, it's the only foldable desktop video magnifier with a 22 inch monitor. And as I said immediately, when I looked at it, the display isn't foldable, the unit is foldable so you can carry it. Absolutely. So the display in the unit as opposed to the early Vtex and other types from maybe the first part of this century, these are all integrated units where the display, the camera, the table base are all together in one product. They're not separate components and yeah, this is our latest offering, it was introduced about three months ago, it's been very popular. So Ken demonstrated how to fold it and I said, you know, for the real company, I want him to walk me through how to do it. Now I did do a test run, but I'm sure I'm still going to mess it up. So why don't you walk me through what I'm doing? Allison, you're a pro, you did a great job on the trial run and let's do it again on camera. How does that sound? All right, sounds good. Okay, what do I do first? What you're going to do is you're going to turn off the unit, okay, and then what you're going to do is you're going to make the display as if it were a table. So you're going to tilt it backwards, it's a tiltable display, you're going to lift it up a little bit, oops, sorry, didn't do the camera, so let's do the camera. So we're going to tilt the camera back and then we're just going to fold the lens cover over the camera. Okay, now we're going to make a table out of it. Yeah, you missed a step there. Yeah, I did. Sorry about that. Okay, so now I've got it like a table. Now you've got it like a table and for those who are watching the video, you see there were two red buttons and these are the red buttons that you use to help collapse this device so that it's easily storeable or transportable. So you're going to push that first button and you're going to push that monitor all the way underneath until it is really parallel with that upright arm. You can't break it, don't worry. I feel like I'm going to. There you go, perfect, perfect. Now there's one more button at the back, you're going to push that other red button and you're going to collapse it down. There you go, perfect. Now I noticed there's a handle at the back. There is, there's an integrated handle at the back which makes it easier for somebody to actually be able to transport it around. Now it's not a... Can I lift it? You can, it's 22 pounds. It is not a portable device in that somebody is going to carry it with them in their bag when they go shopping. But the idea is that it's transportable so that if you've got somebody who's a snowbird who goes away for the winter or has a weekend home or simply would like to collapse it and get it out of the way when they have a dinner party, oh that's okay. You're going to be fine. It just opened up a little bit. So you can, there you go, great. That's quite all right. Probably gave you bad advice. I missed one of the trees. Good thing I'm good at weightlifting, right? Yep, absolutely. So here you go. So that's pretty cool. I can see what you mean by it would be you wouldn't do it every day probably. I mean I suppose you could. It's all about how you, you know, what locations do you wish to use your magnification solution in and for what length of time you want to do it. So for instance if you are using this vocationally it's going to be probably set up in your workspace the entire day and then whether or not you want to, you know, reuse that workspace for something else you'll pack it up and set it out of the way. Yeah, I can definitely see folding it up and setting it out of the way. I would need a hand card I think if I was going to carry it every day, a little rolly suitcase or something. And we have those as well. Very good, very good. So if somebody was interested in this product where would they go Ken? They would go, they could contact us via our website www.eschenbach.com or they can go to any of their eye care professionals and simply mention that they saw a video magnifier from Eschenbach and they'll be able to get information there. And is this, what model is this? This is the Vario Digital 22 and I just want to point out that there is a 16 inch version which is certainly a little more lightweight and a little easier to get around for those that, you know, aren't weight lifters let's say. This is very good. I'm excited about the improvements in this technology. I know it was amazing for my mother 30, 40 years ago but I'm glad to see it's continuing to improve. Thank you very much Ken. Thanks for coming by, pleasure speaking with you.
