PocketSMS is a free app for Android phones, which could be used by people who are deaf and blind to read SMS and send ra eply via SMS. The application communicates by converting the message into vibrations using the Morse Code for reading the SMS and allows users to use any installed keyboard, such as Graffiti, to respond. Before this, the deaf-blind could only electronically communicate using refreshable Braille devices costing thousands of dollars.

The latest development to impact the visually-impaired is a Braille device born by engineering students in Canada. The inventive undergrads have developed a Braille printer that lets the blind and visually impaired easily label objects that feel similar to the touch, like DVDs. The ergonomic device has six keys for embossing – one for each of the six dots that make up a Braille character. It's still being developed, but according to Cnet's gadget blog, it could hit the market at around $200 – that's £122. A date for release is not yet known. So if you'd like to get your hands on a top office device with Braille features now, the BROTHER HL7050N LASER PRINTER is a reliable printer with a Braille keypad – available from the A1stores site.

Our graduation project titled "Electronic Braille Tutor" It is an educational tool that is designed to assist blind children from the age of 4-7 years old or for those who've lost thier vision in an advanced age to read and write English or Arabic letters and numbers in Braille code. The device is provided with a voice record/playback chip so that the user could use the device independently and for a long time to improve his reading and writing skill. the idea of this device is based on a manual device called "Albaseer",,a comparison between the two devices is shown in this video.

People without vision loss can take advantage of a wide range of smart devices to take notes, create calendar events, play music, make ohone calls, send SMS and e-mail messages, surf the web,and much, much, more. In a majority of instances, mass-marketed smart tablets are not fully-usable by people who are blind. In order to accommodate these access needs, assistive technology manufacturers designed and developed devices specifically for people who are blind. They are called notetakers. A notetaker may have a Braille or a Qwerty keyboard. They are basically, adapted smart devices. Users who are blind can do the same type of tasks that a non-visually-impaired user does on an off-the-shelf-smart device. Because the electronic notetakers are adapted for persons who are blind or visually impaired they have built in speech output. Users who have hearing impairments as well as vision loss or learn better by reading Braille can purchase an electronic notetaker that has a refreshable Braille display. In fact, some electronic notetakers that have a refreshable Braille display can be attached to a computer and used as the refreshable Braille display for the computer. The cost for these specialized devices start at ~$1500 for a notetaker with a braille or QWERTY keyboard with no Braille display to approximately $5000 with a braille display. While the prices for these devices have decreased somewhat over the years... they are still "separate but equal" devices. But, as just like the <b>...</b>

This is a sixteen year old handheld PDA for people with limited vision. We call them note takers. There is no touch screen, in fact there's no screen period. This is the forerunner to the modern PDA as we know it today. There was a need for this type of device back in the mid eighties. I go into how this works, including some random reboots that it did on it's own. LOL

Google Tech Talk August 2, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by David Sachs. Gyroscopes, accelerometers, and compasses are increasingly prevalent in mainstream consumer electronics. Applications of these sensors include user interface, augmented reality, gaming, image stabilization, and navigation. This talk will demonstrate how all three sensor types work separately and in conjunction on a modified Android handset running a modified sensor API, then explain how algorithms are used to enable a multitude of applications. Application developers who wish to make sense of rotational motion must master Euler angles, rotation matrices, and quaternions. Under the hood, sensor fusion algorithms must be used in order to create responsive, accurate, and low noise descriptions of motion. Reducing sensing errors involves compensating for temperature changes, magnetic disturbances, and sharp accelerations. Some of these algorithms must run at a very high rate and with very precise timing, which makes them difficult to implement within low-power real-time operating systems. Within Android specifically, this involves modifying the sensor manager, introducing new APIs, and partitioning motion processing tasks. David Sachs began developing motion processing systems as a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab. His research there led him to InvenSense, where he continues this work with MEMS inertial sensors used in products such as the Nintendo Wii Motion Plus. David's designs incorporate gyroscopes <b>...</b>
