“You switch on the glasses.  You download the app and open it and it guides you through.  Firest it measures your prescription…your magnification requirement.  So you look at it closer or farther and you’re able to switch the different powers until you see perfectly.”

And Haddad promises there is much more to come..  Find more at www.32northglasses.com

“In a nutshell, this program is about safety.  It’s meant to ensure that these systems are designed in ways that prevent drivers from misusing them.  From the existing literature we identified categories fo system safeguards that help drivers fulfill their roles and responsibilities when using technology.”

The systems…says Mueller…should monitor the attentiveness of drivers.  She spoke on episode 252 of Smart Driving Cars.  You’ll find a link to that on our Web site.

“One is called LanSat 9 and it’s called anSat 9 because it’s the ninth in this series of satellites that goes back all the way…fifty years.  Some of the earliest earth observing satellites were in this series.  Having that continuity, we can actually track how the planet’s changing from space over these long time periods.  We’re also working with NOAA to improve weather satellites so those kinds of weather satellites can actually do more than tell us about extreme storms.  They can tell us about fires…they can tell us about air pollution.”
