I saw this article and thought the device was really interesting. 

 

One of our grads uses a device called the Mini Guide, which is about the size of a 9-volt battery and is held in the hand but this sounds even better. He uses it in train stations to tell when the train has pulled up as he is deaf/blind. 

 

The article about this device is at: 12) Read this NFB AT blog post on an intriguing navigation device under development:
