Qualcomm: Cell phone for the visually impaired

Hirdetés

Qualcomm and British RNIB (Royal National Institute for Blind) are developing a cell phone for the blind and visually impaired. The development costs are covered by the $100.000 USD donation offered by Qualcomm. Qualcomm and RNIB are working together with the scientists from Loughborough University Ergonomics and Safety Research Institute to integrate screen-reading technologies and to develop a handset design that is easilty usable by the visually impaired. The aim of RNIB is to help those having problems with their eyesight in everyday life, besides providing Braille alphabet and audiobooks.
