  • Publication number: 20150310767
    Abstract: A wireless typoscope displays an enhanced image of an object to a person with poor vision. The wireless typoscope includes an image capture unit having (a) a camera for capturing an image of the object and (b) a wireless transmission unit, and a handheld image display unit having a touch screen. The image capture unit wirelessly transmits the image to the handheld image display unit which enhances and displays the image on the touch screen.

  • Publication number: 20140146192
    Abstract: An example wireless camera system includes a camera, a wireless network adapter, an acoustic receiver, and a processor. The camera is configured to acquire image data and the wireless network adapter wirelessly communicates the image data over a wireless network. The acoustic receiver is configured to receive an acoustic signal containing configuration data and the processor configures the network adapter to communicate over the wireless network using the received configuration data of the acoustic signal.
