No Communication Barrier
How is that possible? How is it possible to have 100% no communication barrier between a deaf guy and hearing people and be able to communicate in real time just like signing or talking using voice? How is it possible to have 100% communication without signing or talking? Without writing using pen and paper? Without an interpreter 24/7 following you like an unwanted 3rd shadow? Take a look at this picture and figure out how it is possible and you tell me. How can a deaf guy translate his hiking experiences and other stories as a deaf person to a bunch of hearing person using this piece of amazing communication technology?

Oh puhleez. The woman hiker is typing EXACTLY every single words that everybody is saying??? Yeah, right. That's just about impossible. If you really think about it, a court reporter has to take training to be able to capture every single words being said, for their word-for-word transcriptions (CART machine)... and you're saying that this woman hiker is doing a word-for-word translation for Julio, including emotions?? Again - oh puhleez!
To Anonymous #1;
First thing first. How do you know if the woman was a hiker? For all we know she could have been the host of the place who've seen all sorts of people. Maybe she's a hiker but your guess is as terrible as mine. She could be somebody else.
Secondly, you were concerned about receiving every single words that everybody is saying? Are you serous? If you are then you clearly have no clues on what it's really like to participate in a group of hearing people. Or do you? If you did then you would have known that catching every words would be impossible even if you could hear and speak. Even the hearing people miss out some things due to multiple conversations going on between different individuals. How is it different when a deaf person joins into the crowd?
Oh that's right, people like you want special treatments. It's people like you who coined special needs. You have my sympathy. You really do.
In addition to my previous comment towards Anonymous #1... it's no different then we are around a group of deaf people in exactly the same relaxing environment. A couple of people signing at the same time and you expect to catch everything? I'd hope you're the monster who's got multiple eyes around your head because you clearly have special needs.

Anony, note that I said, "100% communication" and not "word for word." You can type and paraphrase what another person said and still get 100% communication. ASL interpreters do that all the time never signing or speaking exactly word for word what a person said.
That hearing woman could be typing in on what other people are asking Julio with simple questions.
For example,
"John said, 'Where did you go to school growing up?' "
Or repeat what others have said in short sentences. Easy stuff. You don't have to be a CART transcriber to do this easy stuff. Besides, most of the discussion was between the hearing woman and Julio.
Emotions? Look at their faces, dude. That's why it's called "Face to Face communication." Did you see Julio smiling in the picture? This real time chatting isn't done out of sight of each other like no-real time chatting on the internet. With the UbiDuo you get to see each other faces and see the immediate emotional response.
Let's wait and see what Julio says on describing what those exchanges were like.
Don't do the whole "puhleeze" thing if you haven't experienced it in the first place on the power of the UbiDuo. UbiDuo continues to grow and thrive despite naysayers like you. You won't make a difference here. UbiDuo will make a difference and has been making a powerful difference since 2005.
Hello anonymous!:)
You are right she didn't write word for word, she was summarizing what they talked about from time to time while we chatted. Isn't that awesome! You will want to one when you try, you ought to try it!
To the freedom,
Julio Rodriguez
