Being well aware that real progress takes much time, and being the developer of an alternative to the BrainPort device, I am seriously interested in finding the right ways to go about and in the longer run make a difference, with the input from blind users. I'd welcome any ideas that you may have on making the path a bit smoother while leaving room for exploring new possibilities that may or may not pan out as we go.
