Subject: Webinar Wednesday: Braille Innovations

Hello,

Time to tell you about Sight and Sound Technology’s next Webinar Wednesday 
session, taking place on November 18th, at 2:00 pm.

For blind people around the world, Braille is integral to our lives. We use it 
numerous times every day, to do all sorts of things, and there’s no doubt that 
it has been instrumental in linking education to better career prospects.

At Sight and Sound Technology, we’re passionate not only about how Braille is 
used right now, and the technology that works alongside it, but to look at how 
Braille is evolving, and what might be possible in the future.
On this special Webinar Wednesday session, we’re talking about Braille 
Innovations and also about how you can find support to know more about Braille 
and its many codes in the UK and Ireland.

Our guests for this session are Dr. Sile O’Modhrain, from the University of 
Michigan, Dr. Donal Fitzpatrick, from Dublin City University, and Mr. Dave 
Williams, Chair of the Braillists Foundation.

Sile O'Modhrain is an associate professor at the University of Michigan where 
she holds a joint appointment in the Performing Arts Technology (PAT) program 
in the School of Music, Theatre and Dance, and in the school of information.  
Her research focuses on human-computer interaction, especially interfaces 
incorporating haptic and auditory feedback. For the past eight years, she has 
been working with Brent Gillespie and Alex Russamanno to design and build a 
full-page tactile array to support the display of braille and tactile graphics.
Sile’s presentation will focus on designing a Full-Page Tactile Display: What 
we Know and What We Don’t Know Yet.
Though no such devices have reached the market, there are a number of 
manufacturers who are getting close to releasing products.  It is safe to say 
that in the next five years there will be at least one product released.  
However, we are only now beginning to think about what interacting with content 
on these displays might involve.   In this presentation she will discuss this 
journey.

Donal Fitzpatrick is a lecturer in the School of Computing Dublin City 
University. His research interests focus on accessible user interfaces for 
persons with disabilities.  His recent work has been in the area of access to 
mathematics using Unified English Braille. Donal is a life-long Braille reader 
and he uses it for both work and pleasure.
Donal’s presentation will focus on Braille in his work and personal life, 
Braille research initiatives including Euromath and Braille Translation and 
will also discuss the importance of Braille in education.

Dave Williams is chair of the Braillists Foundation, a grass-roots community 
group connecting Braille readers with Braille technology developers and funders.
The Braillists Foundation believe Braille has the potential to transform the 
life of any blind person who has the opportunity to learn it.
The Braillists work to Promote the value of Braille as a proven literacy tool 
that enriches the lives of blind people, support efforts to make affordable 
Braille and tactile reading technologies available to all blind people 
irrespective of education and employment status and to provide an open forum 
for the exchange of ideas about the development of future Braille technology.
Dave’s presentation will discuss the work of the Braillists Foundation and 
their many initiatives including their collaboration with Bristol Braille 
Technology, their community meetings, forum, podcasts, training and equipment 
distribution.
