[Ct-nfb] Boston Globe highlights new technology for the visually impaired

[cbduquette at comcast.net]

Deb, 



This is amazing and thank you and your daughter for sharing it with us all.  This is great assistance technology and I am excited to see much more to come in the future.  Technology like this helps bridge the gap between the blind and sighted world.

Yes Dave that would be an example of over reliance, but I am sure we can agree that when some of our skills don't reveal what we would like to know, it could be a tool for further independence. Enjoy your day!

I can see some good things about this, but some bad too.  I would worry about over-reliance on it -- you don't need a phone to tell you what you have for lunch in front of you!

Hi everyone, 
My daughter forwarded this link  about some new software that is being used at the Carroll Center in Newton and will become available next year. Sounds amazing.  One thing to take special note of is the blue tooth to keep audio info to the user only.
