Has anyone used the Esight device? (self.Blind)

It looks like an improvement over the Jordy (if anyone else has ever used one of those). I guess my biggest curiosity is in regards to using the device while in motion. The Jordy made it clear that it was only meant to be used while stationary. Esight seems to be touting the fact that this device can be used even when walking.
If you have used it:
-What are your thoughts on it?
-Was it comfortable to wear?
-If you used it outdoors, did it sufficiently filter light from entering from the sides?
-If you used both the Jordy and the Esight; how did they compare?

I tried it last winter in Toronto. It was comfortable enough to wear, definitely had a helmet-y feel to it but that's to be expected.
I used it indoors but in a very brightly lit room with large windows. I did not detect any light sneaking through. I didn't get up and walk around though, but I did look around quickly and keep my head moving.
It didn't help for my condition (retinitis pigmentosa) but it's still impressive. And you do look like Geordie LaForge still.

Right on. What impressed you most? If I can ask, in what way was it not helpful (I'm not familiar with retinitis pigmentosa)

I have a loss of peripheral vision, but my central vision is quite good - my glasses are hella weak. It focuses your central vision and cuts off your peripherals, which I was without anyways (I still have some, but they vanished when I was wearing the e-sight)
I was impressed by the program itself and the experiences previous patients had had.
