Hi all,
I am doing some of my own, freelance research and am seeking the help of
those who are "in the know"...
I am interested in learning about all currently active projects to create a
portable accessibility device for the purpose of reading print and tactile
access to images. I am thinking about something similar to the old Optacon.
I have heard of a couple of such projects, but information seems to be very
sparce.
Please respond off-list if you know anything about any of these projects.
What will be the features of such a device when it goes into production and
what will be its price tag.
I feel that having an affordable version of such a device might represent
our only near-term hope to gain greater accessibility to the world around
us.
Thanks.
