<p>The company has added the Bose Frames to the list of devices its <a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/accessibility/soundscape-boseframes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Soundscape app</a> supports. If you&#8217;re not familiar with the software, it provides audio cues to help visually impaired people navigate around cities. Microsoft has been working on the technology for the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2015/11/30/microsoft-updates-navigation-headset-for-the-blind/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">better part of a decade</a>.</p>
<p>While Microsoft doesn&#8217;t offer comparisons, it appears the app is able to deliver more detailed instructions on Bose Frames than some of the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2014/11/06/microsoft-headset-for-the-visually-impaired/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">other devices</a> where the company has made it available. The wearable features a nine-axis head-motion sensor that allows the app to know the exact orientation of your face. In this way, it&#8217;s able to provide detailed instructions as it tries to help you navigate the world. Microsoft claims people who had a chance to use the Bose Frames with Soundscape reporting they felt &#8220;significantly more aware of their surroundings.</p>
<p>Thankfully, you don&#8217;t need to invest in a pair of Bose Frames to take advantage of Soundscape. In 2018, Microsoft made the tech available through a free <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/01/microsoft-navigation-Soundscape-app-blind-visual-impairment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iOS app</a>. Still, the addition of the tech to the Bose Frames speaks to the kind of capabilities we can expect from smartglasses in the future.</p>
