We’re bringing back our AT crowd series, where developers and library patrons meet to explore emerging accessible technologies, network and discuss the priorities, Preferences and best practices in our community. This Thursday, we’ll be joined by teams from two companies who have recently debuted digital Braille products, using two very different approaches.

Blind and visually impaired people, tactile readers, and allies are encouraged to attend thid discussion and hands-on demo.  

Bonocle, a one-cell digital Braille device equipped with Bluetooth and various sensors,  is a braille entertainment platform designed for the blind community. it allows users to learn, get work done and play immersive games with their friends and family in a unique way along with various other functionalities.

 

The Dot Kiosk includes a high-contrast touchscreen, text-to-speech audio, a refreshable tactile graphics tablet, and a 20-cell Braille display. It’s designed to offer information, images and maps in public places like museums and cultural institutions. Dot, Inc also develops the 4-cell digital Braille DOT Watch and the DOT Pad for tactile graphics.
