Hi all, I would like to share information on Brainport which I had in my E mail id. It was long back in November 2013, when I tried to enquire about Brainport to marketing manager in Europe from Wicab He replied me;
Thank you for your interest in our technology. The BrainPort V100 will soon be available at selected sites in Germany, the UK, Sweden, Italy and Canada. Unfortunately, I cannot predict when the technology will be available in India for purchase. We are not currently discussing sales and marketing in your country with a distributor/local partner. However, we will inform you as soon as the device is available in your country. Prior to purchase, users are required to train with the device under the supervision of a certified trainer. We recommend a minimum of 10 hours of training, which translates into approximately one week of training sessions. Some users may benefit from additional training. The cost of the device is 8,000 EURO (excl. VAT). Training costs differ from country to country and are not included in the device cost. Prior to devising a reimbursement strategy for select countries, we intend to support prospective customers' attempts to apply for grants from charitable organizations. Please note that the device does not provide sight, sight substation or visualizations of images. Instead, it is like a Braille system on the tongue that individuals learn to interpret as concrete objects in their environment. Users are unable to recognize their family members or "see". Those seem to be common misperceptions of our technology.. Friends, the information which I had shared above is of November 2013 and not the latest one.
