From the Sonic Guide of 1976 to the BrailleNote mPower released in July
2005, many innovative devices aimed at assisting people who are blind or
visually impaired throughout the world resulted from the work of just
one man. We pay tribute to that man, Dr. Russell Smith,  founder and CEO
of Pulse Data, now HumanWare. On August 7, Dr Russell Smith and his
wife, Marian D'Eve, were killed in an airplane crash in New Zealand
while returning home from a weekend conference. Read about the life of
this passionate pioneer and leader of the assistive technology field.
