Dr. Gardner will briefly describe the reasons that led to the founding of
ViewPlus and its development from a one-room business startup in 1999 to a
multimillion dollar company today.  He will demonstrate the sequence of
technologies that ViewPlus has developed,   including the ViewPlus tactile
graphics and Braille embossers, currently the company's major product line.
ViewPlus embossers were developed in his lab at Oregon State University and
is exclusively licensed by Oregon State to ViewPlus.  ViewPlus has
developed
an impressive list of supporting software making it easy for anybody who
knows how to use a computer to create Braille plus tactile graphics
documents.  ViewPlus is poised to become a mainstream company with its new
IVEO technology making it easy to create graphical information that is
usable by blind people. Dr. Gardner will demonstrate IVEO and show why
Tiger
technology was a critical first step before IVEO could even be possible.
ViewPlus has always had an end goal in sight - technologies making it easy
to create information that is universally accessible.  For more information
