Since your username suggests that you're personally associated with a company that sells a high-priced blindness gadget, I'll be happy to answer your questions for a reasonable hourly rate.

I have this thing that you want. How much money do you have?

Apparently, the product costs roughly $6,000 to $6,200. It appears to be similar to eSight, although it claims to have OCR built in as well and all voice controls. It also claims to work as a full Android tablet as well.

I'm actually thinking of making an open source aid like this, not sure how yet, but probably involving a raspberry pi or something, how on earth can anyone afford the 6k version?!

I use an Iphone and a laptop.
Once I payed for the Laptop and Iphone; I use mostly free apps and programs. NVDA for my screen reading, Voiceover for my phone and apps on my phone that allow me to get around. So I use free things when I can and do not believe in paying for apps and programs if I do not need to.
For example, instead of using JAWS I use NVDA.
I'm not sure what people mean by your name sounds like you're selling a product but if you are, I probably won't use it due to the fact I'm happy with the laptop and phone I have.
