Some of you expressed and interest in the Tech Talk program from Accessible
World titled "Seeing with Your Tongue". The audio MP3 is now on A W's website
at the link below. Listening time is just under an hour:
Wicab, Inc. in Middleton, WI is developing a new technology that has the
potential to provide assistive benefits to blind individuals by enabling
greater independence. As an assistive tool, the BrainPort vision device may
enhance important functions as mobility, orientation, reading, object
recognition, employment, and recreation. The BrainPort system presents
information to the brain via electrical stimulation of the tongue, augmenting
normal sensory channels. The device consists of an electrode array for the
tongue, a video camera, and a control system.
