[Focus on the #EnVision mission] Why have #Venus and Earth evolved so differently? This is the question to be answered by the EnVision #SpaceMission of the European Space Agency - ESA, scheduled for launch in 2031.

To this end, the European #probe will carry several instruments - including an imaging #spectrometer, to which IRAP staff are contributing. Observations will be made in the UV and IR domains, in order to monitor temporal variations in #surface temperature and gas concentrations within the #atmosphere - and thus gain a better understanding of interactions between the Venusian atmosphere and surface.

[Focus sur la mission #EnVision] Pourquoi #Vénus et la Terre ont-elles évolué si différemment ? Telle est la question à laquelle devra répondre la #MissionSpatiale EnVision de l' European Space Agency - ESA dont le lancement est prévu pour 2031.

A cet effet, la #sonde européenne embarquera plusieurs instruments - un #spectromètre imageur notamment, auquel contribuent les personnels de l'IRAP. Des #observations seront effectuées dans les domaines UV et IR afin de suivre les variations temporelles de la température de #surface et des concentrations de gaz au sein de l'#atmosphère - et donc, de mieux comprendre les interactions entre l'atmosphère et la surface vénusiennes.

Hmm, are they trying to clear out remaining stock of Google Glass?

"If you are a user of #Envision Glasses, and know of a friend/family member who would also be interested in using the Glasses to meet their needs, take some time to encourage them to acquire a pair of their own. They'll get 15% off their purchase of the Envision Glasses, and you'll receive a $200 gift card as a thank-you!

[#EnVision: en route to #Venus ] On Tuesday, the European Space Agency - ESA awarded Thales Alenia Space a contract to build the EnVision probe destined for Venus. The onboard instruments will study the #planet's inner core, mantle and atmosphere, as well as their interactions, with unrivalled precision. Objective: to understand a planet's evolution towards #habitability - or uninhabitability.

[#EnVision : en route pour #Vénus ] Ce mardi, l' European Space Agency - ESA a attribué à Thales Alenia Space un contrat de construction de la sonde EnVision à destination de Vénus. Les instruments embarqués étudieront le noyau interne, le manteau et l'atmosphère de la #planète ainsi que leurs interactions, avec une précision inégalée. Objectif : comprendre l'évolution d'une planète vers l'#habitabilité - ou l'inhabitabilité.

I was just thinking... we currently have Be My AI from Be My Eyes, Access AI from Aira, Seeing AI from Microsoft, and Ally from Envision. And guess what, they are all currently totally free to use! Man, how lucky we are to have these great tools for our toolbox! For those who remember... even though it was a great app in its time, we have come a long way since TapTapSee. #BeMyEyes #Aira #SeeingAI #Envision #Tools #Blind

Envision AI. Envision is creating an AI personal assistant that you can name and personalize to your liking. They want it available not only to those using their glasses, but also to those using their free app. They call it Ally. Ally is currently in Beta, and I was just approved to be on the growing beta team. Since it is a beta, it does make mistakes, but it is getting better over time. Its just amazing on the number of different tools we have to choose from to help us accomplish everyday task! , #Envision #Ally #AI #Personal #Assistant #Tool #Task

So, I'm beta testing the Ally feature on the #Envision Glasses . It's pretty cool! Earlier, I decided to see what all coffees I had in my cabinet. I picked them up, and the ally correctly identified all but one. I don't fault it for the one because the bag is runnning low, and the label could be obscured. It was amazing to, hands free, stand at my cabinet and ID items. Game changer! @letsenvision

I just got the email approval for #Envision #Ally #Beta! I love that you can interrupt it like in Advanced voice mode in ChatGPT and Gemini live. And, when you ask it what it can see, it takes photos automatically without needing to press anything on the screen. Nice when outside exploring. #Blind #Accessibility #Blindness #AI

Petite question comme ça...Des nouvelles de nos amis de chez #Selest?Perso j'en ai pas vu, et puis tient, si vous devriez prendre des lunettes avec l'IA, lesquelles vous prendrez, considérant les langues dans lesquelles on peut s'en servir et le prix?Team #Envision ou #selest Smart Glace?#aveugle #tech

The second #ESA Science Newsletter is out. This time with:

* #Euclid ERO data access (&images)
* #Envision call for interdiscriplinary scientists
* ESA Research Fellowship in space science call pre-announcement (call expected end of August with deadline mid-September)
* NewAthena science study team announcement
* DASH & IHDEA conference announcement
* Mercury Laboratory Workshop announcement

Apologies for the start of the recording. My Apple Watch is very old and very sluggish with voiceover. Obviously I wasn't sure if I was recording or not. This is my demo of the #envision Smart glasses.

I've been #Blind for nearly 40 years. I carry a high-end iPhone and smart glasses with a handful of AI-powered computer vision app...what do I 'look' at most of the time? #Caturday images on Mastodon. I think I need to learn to see again at the same time as my technology learns to see. #Accessibility #AIRA #AIsoftheBlind #ComputerVision #Envision #SmartGlasses #Seleste

So, Envision is doing this survey. It says to choose my country. I can't type U N to search ahead to United States. I can't hit the End key to move any nearer to it. So I closed the tab. I do *not* have time for AT companies that can't test any outgoing communications, or media, or surveys, or whatever, for accessibility.

The European Space Agency has adopted two ambitious space science missions: Venus voyager #EnVision and gravitational wave surfer #lisa .

The 'adoption' step recognises that the missions' concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. Both spacecraft are planned to launch with an #Ariane6
