Hello everyone,
Every once in awhile, someone comes along who wants to do something for us
blind folks. Last sunday I met with a student from the University of
Cincinnati School of Design. He is interested in inventing a device that would
be cheap and assist with travel. It would combine lasers and vibrating motors
to impart information. I talked with him, then invited him to my home. You
might say, I pulled him in to the deep end. He saw everything in my office
including the OPTACON. Of course, he had never heard of it and was fascinated
with it. He was able to recognize a few letters. He appreciated the potential
of it and wondered why it is considered "old technology". I don't know what his
project will be now but it was fun spending three hours with him.
