[Nfbf-l] Covert Affairs and Laser Cane

[Kirk]

PJ, this show sounds better by the moment! I like seeing us depicted in 
television and film as competent and capable people for the rest of the 
sighted world to learn and see! KH

The cane, that Auggie uses, is about 10 inches long and projects a red, and
 at times squiggly line, on the floor or objects.  It's sort of like the
lines that they show in movies, such as Get Smart, that are used for extra
security in a room.  I don't know if it beeps aloud or if he wears a
bluetooth headphone.  He is a behind the scenes kind of guy, helping the 
main
character who is new to the CIA, in her duties.  In the first episode  he 
told
how he lost his vision, in combat, and he said something like: when I  work
up, I was Ray Charles.  It was meant to be funny, and very matter of  fact,
and so far James and I haven't been turned off by what he's said or what  he
has done.  He is portrayed as very good at his job and very  competent.
They show him using a computer, with speech, and refreshable  Braille 
display.
He also uses sighted guide, sometimes, and uses a folding  cane, too.
