[BlindTlk] Quick Survey: Visual Translator

[Ronza Othman]

Hi Everyone,

I spoke with Lou Ann Blake, and she said it was OK if I posted the below.

 

My sister is a high school STEM teacher with Chicago Public Schools, and her
students have been working on developing a technological device they've
called the "Visual Translator."  This device uses cameras on either end of
glasses that view and analyze information such as wall menus, street signs,
traffic, photos, and other information.  The device then communicates that
information audibly.  I think of it as like Aira but using artificial
intelligence and instant technological feedback.  

 

The students have entered their Visual Translator in a contest sponsored by
Motarola with a chance at having it developed, produced, and marketed.
Motarola requires those who enter this contest to obtain feedback about the
concept from the stakeholders who will use it.  I'm hoping you might help my
sister's students out by taking the brief survey at the link below.  It'll
take maybe five minutes.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
