Revolutionary accessibility technology for the blind
Solving the Problem During the past few decades there have been countless advances in computer technology. Although the blind community has accessibility to everything from email to IPods, they have been nearly left out entirely from digitized design and graphical communication. Having these capabilities would provide many opportunities for the blind population, especially among blind developers of science and technology. Expected users of EASY products will mainly consist of those who most benefit from its development: the blind design community. Blind engineers, scientists, and artists will all benefit from being able to digitize, send and reproduce their creations. Students will also benefit from EASY products as well, learning concepts of geometry, developing graphical creativity, and finding interest in science and engineering design.
