Subject: Smart Phone helps navigate

 




Someone sent this article to me about a Smart phone to help people who are
blind. You may have read about it already but if not, here is one quote from
the article and the link:

Project Ray, a smartphone specially designed for blind and sight-impaired
users, which uses sensors to help them navigate the world. The device allows
users control the phone by voice and touch. For example, when a user calls
up a location program and swipes it, the device will use a GPS chip to tell
them where they are.
