Disabilities

 In today's class we watch a very interesting  conference video that talked about how companies and everyone in general should be more inclusive for people thad had dissailities the video actually focus more people who has visual dissabilities but today I want to investigate alternatives that exist in the world for people who can not see or can not hear etcc….

• The first thing i found is for blind people and it is like a ring that can read the ring recognize the text and read it out loud for me thos a wonderful invent because it must be very hard to find the exact same book you want to reed in codes for blind people.

• Be my eyes is a free mobile app that connects visually impaired individuals with a sighted volunteer via video chat for assistance with everyday tasks. Sighted volunteers can help someone check the expiration date on a carton of milk or figure out what color shirt to wear. It’s a perfect way to connect the two worlds and learn from each other. I think this is a great app because first of allows free so If a blind person doesn’t have enough money they can have access to the app and get the help they need.

• And the last thing I found is the BrainPort that  uses electro-tactile technology to help blind users with orientation, mobility, and object recognition. Available by prescription, BrainPort comprises a set of camera-equipped sunglasses that attach to a device that is placed in the user’s mouth. The device creates moving patterns on the user’s tongue (which some have described as pixels) that help them understand the objects in front of them. In fact, some users have even used it to help them climb mountains! I think that this alternative is the best one of the 3 that I present.

I am so happy to see that the world have started to realize that they need to start considering things for people with disabilities and we need to all start being a lot more inclusive in that aspect.

Thank you for reading today’s blog. I will see you next week bye.
