Seminars at Hadley Presents: 
A Virtual Tour to Marvelous Melbourne: the Most Livable City Down Under

Date: Tuesday, August 4, 2015

Time: 4:00 PM CDT, 21:00 GMT

Come and venture to marvelous Melbourne to discover the sounds and textures of Australia’s “most livable” city.

Join Seminars at Hadley as presenter Maribel Steel takes us on a virtual tour of her home city. Discover Melbourne’s early history, its modern vibrant culture and how accessible it is for travelers who are blind or visually-impaired. You may remember Maribel from her blogging seminar with us last year.

Dawn Turco, Hadley’s senior vice president, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the hour.

Please note the 4:00PM CDT start of this seminar as we connect a bit later in the day to reach Maribel the next morning!

This seminar is an audio presentation. Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you are available to attend so that others are not closed out.

Seminars at Hadley Presents: Get the Picture

Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Time: 3:00 PM CDT, 20:00 GMT

Do you use your iDevice camera? What can the camera do for blind users? So very much – where do we begin! The camera can be used to detect light, recognize currency, identify objects, and much more. In this seminar, along with numerous apps that make use of the camera, we’ll show you how it can be used as a tool.

Join Seminars at Hadley as we focus on the concepts and skills that can be mastered by blind users to successfully use the camera to take pictures with an iPhone, iPod or iPad. Once the photography basics have been covered, we will discuss eight types of uses for an iPhone's camera.

*	Detecting Light
*	Identifying Currency
*	Detecting Colors
*	Identifying Objects by Recognition
*	Identifying Objects by Scanning Barcodes and QR (Quick Response) Codes
*	Scanning Text
*	Capturing Images to Deposit Checks
*	Video Calling

Strategies for managing photos on your device will also be discussed.

Presenter Judy Dixon, author of the book, “Get the Picture: Viewing the World with the iPhone Camera,” and consumer relations officer with the National Library Service; will discuss iDevice camera use by blind persons to detect, identify, recognize or just to share. Optimal techniques will be described and apps will be demonstrated.

Dawn Turco, Hadley’s senior vice president, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the hour.
