Hi,

Just a short note. Often when I send a link to one article I come accross
many other news agencies etc who carry the same article. I usually don't put
a link to the exact same article from another source, but thinking shall
perhaps try to do this. One, it shows what great interest these articles
arouse and two, also interesting to see how information spreads. This time
example the article "Love of art is blind for sightless museum visitors".

Regards,

Lisa

Love of art is blind for sightless museum visitors Her eyes see nothing but
when Barbara Appel runs her fingers over the face of a Picasso sculpture in
New York?s Museum of Modern Art she sighs with pleasure Most people go to
museums to look at exhibits but for some at MoMA love of art is literally
blind Each month a small group with various levels of impaired vision

Painting through a mist

Anne Cassin can't read a newspaper, but she can paint. *Anna Pearson* spoke
to the blind painter ahead of her inaugural exhibition.

There's a painting of Mt Cook in Anne Cassin's dining room, and she'll
treasure it forever.

The landscape done in 2012 was the first of many paintings, which now fill
her Bronte St house.

Cassin suffered a stroke in 1998, which left her almost completely blind.

PC accessibility
Bringing multitouch to the blind

Multitouch has changed computing, being the first new user interaction
paradigm since the mouse and keyboard. After exploding on mobile phones in
2007, multitouch has penetrated other technologies like tablets and laptops.

Flicks, swipes, and pinches have become the new click and drag. 
Consumers now expect this interaction with their computing devices and it
has become the natural user interface for those just starting with
computers.

Despite being a tactile experience between fingers and a glass display,
Multitouch is heavily dependent on being able to see what the screen is
displaying and the tap targets on it. Because of this, work is being done to
bring multitouch to blind users, allowing them to enjoy and benefit from the
new technology just like someone with the ability to see.

Here at UMBC, Dr. Shaun Kane and The Pad research group is hard at work
trying to make multitouch solutions for blind users that will benefit their
computer interaction. In the spring semester of last year, work began on
creating a multitouch tablet built with accessibility in mind.

The multitouch tablet was made over the course of the semester entirely from
store-bought materials and electronics like a projector, webcam and infrared
lights. By tracking IR reflections with the webcam, the tablet is able to
detect touches and gestures.
