Be our guest for an intimate, interactive opportunity to try out the latest assistive tech for blind or low vision users. Including the new Monarch, the breakthrough multi-line dynamic braille reading and tactile graphic display tool.
This is an exciting day of exploring sight enhancement and braille technology.
Choose from either morning or afternoon sessions.
Some of the equipment you’ll get to experience hands-on:
• Monarch: the breakthrough reading and learning tool. With a multi-line dynamic tactile display for braille or graphics, finally there’s an alternative to unwieldly printed braille books. Now learners or professionals have instant access to whole books in braille. And with built-in graphics display – for graphs, pictures diagrams via APH’s Tactile Graphics Library too – the Monarch is set to revolutionise math, literacy and science instruction for the visually impaired.
• Prodigi for Windows: Advanced low vision software that transforms digital accessibility with magnification, text-to-speech, and seamless document accessibility.
• Magnibot, a battery operated compact camera that can be controlled from any device – PC, Chromebook and iPad.
• New tools for interactive sensory environments to engage learners with profound and complex visual and cognitive learning challenges through all their senses.
And much more!
Plus tasty snacks, draw prizes, and a certificate of attendance.
