[maryannmigs at gmail.com]

Greetings chapter members and friends,

Now that Spring has sprung we invite you to advance into April by joining
the NFB Boulder Valley Chapter meeting Saturday, April 5, 10:00 am at the
Zoom coordinates listed below. 

This month we are pleased to welcome Jack Walters and his classmates from
The Colorado School of Mines to speak to us about their prototype wearable
technology that can translate nonverbal social queues. Here is what Jack
says about the project. 

"My classmates and I are doing research to provide people who are blind and
low vision with additional information in social settings through the use of

technology. We have developed a prototype that can read nonverbal
communication cues and translate them using haptic technology. The device is
a wearable

assistive technology with vibration motors embedded into a forearm sleeve
that receives a signal from a camera that communicates nonverbal
communication.

The nonverbal communication that the user will receive are gestures, body
language, and facial expression/ emotion. 

Our goal in this current phase is to get connected with individuals who are
blind and low vision for our research and prototype testing."
