I remember seeing a video of a blind woman using them, in combination with some earbuds, so she could get her surroundings described to her, as well as have objects she picked up described. But you’re right, glasses with discreet cameras on them, aren’t necessary for a situation like that - Something more overt would be fine for that use case.

Perhaps it’s Manam? Their island has a volcano, but they use a land-sea axis for directions:

Manam, like most Oceanic languages, primarily uses an absolute reference directional system, even on a local scale, (as opposed to many European languages which primarily use relative reference systems). This system is oriented on a land-sea axis. However, Manam’s system is unique because it has taken on a circular nature, becoming intrinsically linked to the geography of the island which is almost perfectly circular. Below are the directional terms associated in Manam:

llau ‘toward the sea’

Auta ‘toward the land’

Ata ‘to one’s right when one is facing the sea’

Awa ‘to one’s left when one is facing the sea’

The Wikipedia article doesn’t specifically phrase it as “towards/away from the volcano” , but Reddit posts linking to the Wikipedia article phrase it like that.

It’s the marketing department at Gaomon who contacted me. Here’s the relevant excerpt:

I need to apologize, as I spoke with our technical team again today, and we have decided not to move forward with the Linux driver project at this time.

We carefully reviewed the project you shared with us (https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors). While we appreciate the initiative, we found that this is primarily a Wacom-led project, and the potential impact for GAOMON would be quite limited. Even if we added support for our devices, the system would still show the device as a GAOMON model, but the overall setup would display Wacom branding.

Absolutely love me some Band of Brothers and Fringe. Been wanting to rewatch Person of Interest too.
