Hi

I too agree and we should work towards it.

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

Harshit, let me know the procedure of using my credit card through
scan and pay mode. Generally scan and pay feature works with UPI and
the payment is made from the  bank account not from any credit card.
It would be interesting if we are able to pay using our credit card
through scan and pay method.

Re: [AI] Lawsuits Over Digital Accessibility for People With Disabilities Are Rising

[shruti pushkarna]

I think our tolerance to malpractices and lack of implementation of
policies is not limited to the domain of disability. We should really unite
and launch advocacy efforts on a mass scale for the society to take notice
of the disability population.

Hello,

Very interesting article.

We all should also have law suits over digital accessibility in India.
But i think we all tollarate inaccessibility alot. Only many of us
discuss accessibility  on some foram like Access India.

Banking services, Academic services, Postal and currier services,
E-commerce services, E-governance services etc. are very much
inaccessible In India.

We all should start activism and file cases against these organization.

[AI] Brain Implant Gives Blind Woman Artificial Vision in Scientific First

Brain Implant Gives Blind Woman Artificial Vision in Scientific First
https://www.sciencealert.com/a-brain-implant-has-allowed-a-blind-woman-to-see-simple-2d-shapes-and-letters?fbclid=IwAR0IZiWFG71-S2tiyLl4x3SC379iq9yV6f3-XojdCL_169RwgB6Xowkm-vI
CARLY CASSELLA
28 OCTOBER 2021
A 'visual prosthesis' implanted directly into the brain has allowed a
blind woman to perceive two-dimensional shapes and letters for the
first time in 16 years.
The US researchers behind this phenomenal advance in optical
prostheses have recently published the results of their experiments,
presenting findings that could help revolutionize the way we help
those without sight see again.
At age 42, Berna Gomez developed toxic optic neuropathy, a deleterious
medical condition that rapidly destroyed the optic nerves connecting
her eyes to her brain.
In just a few days, the faces of Gomez' two children and her husband
had faded into darkness, and her career as a science teacher had come
to an unexpected end.
Then, in 2018, at age 57, Gomez made a brave decision. She volunteered
to be the very first person to have a tiny electrode with a hundred
microneedles implanted into the visual region of her brain. The
prototype would be no larger than a penny, roughly 4 mm by 4 mm, and
it would be taken out again after six months.
Unlike retinal implants, which are being explored as means of
artificially using light to stimulate the nerves leaving the retina,
this particular device, known as the Moran|Cortivis Prosthesis,
bypasses the eye and optic nerve completely and goes straight to the
source of visual perception.
After undergoing neurosurgery to implant the device in Spain, Gomez
spent the next six months going into the lab every day for four hours
to undergo tests and training with the new prosthesis.
The first two months were largely spent getting Gomez to differentiate
between the spontaneous pinpricks of light she still occasionally sees
in her mind, and the spots of light that were induced by direct
stimulation of her prosthesis.
Once she could do this, researchers could start presenting her with
actual visual challenges.
When an electrode in her prosthesis was stimulated, Gomez reported
'seeing' a prick of light, known as a phosphene. Depending on the
strength of the stimulation, the spot of light could be brighter or
more faded, a white color or more of a sepia tone.
When more than two electrodes were simultaneously stimulated, Gomez
found it easier to perceive the spots of light. Some stimulation
patterns looked like closely spaced dots, while others were more like
horizontal lines.
"I can see something!" Gomez exclaimed upon glimpsing a white line in
her brain in 2018.
Vertical lines were the hardest for researchers to induce, but by the
end of training Gomez was able to correctly discriminate between
horizontal and vertical patterns with an accuracy of 100 percent.
The Utah Electrode Array in actionThe Utah Electrode Array in action.
(John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah)
"Furthermore, the subject reported that the percepts had more
elongated shapes when we increased the distance between the
stimulating electrodes," the authors write in their paper.
"This suggests that the phosphene's size and appearance is not only a
function of the number of electrodes being stimulated, but also of
their spatial distribution… "
Given these promising results, the very last month of the experiment
was used to investigate whether Gomez could 'see' letters with her
prosthesis.
When up to 16 electrodes were simultaneously stimulated in different
patterns, Gomez could reliably identify some letters like I, L, C, V
and O.  She could even differentiate between an uppercase O and a
lowercase o.
The patterns of stimulation needed for the rest of the alphabet are
still unknown, but the findings suggest the way we stimulate neurons
with electrodes in the brain can create two-dimensional images.
The last part of the experiment involved Gomez wearing special glasses
that were embedded with a miniature video camera. This camera scanned
objects in front of her and then stimulated different combinations of
electrodes in her brain via the prosthesis, thereby creating simple
visual images.
The glasses ultimately allowed Gomez to discriminate between the
contrasting borders of black and white bars on cardboard. She could
even find the location of a large white square on either the left or
right half of a computer screen. The more Gomez practiced, the faster
she got.
The results are encouraging, but they only exist for a single subject
over the course of six months. Before this prototype becomes available
for clinical use it will need to be tested among many more patients
for much longer periods of time.
Other studies have implanted the same microelectrode arrays, known as
Utah Electrode Arrays, into other parts of the brain to help control
artificial limbs, so we know they're safe in at least the short term.
But it's still early days for the tech, which

Yes we can join and contribute in NSS. I worked with NSS and
contributed in many social activities. I also participated in 10 days
annual camp. Now i have been called for delivering lectures in NSS
camps in Pune university colleges.

Re: [AI] inAccessible Point of Sale swipe machine (touch screen)

[Harshit Lohia]

Dear List Members,
Completing transaction of less than ₹ 5000 without PIN requires
cardholder to keep contactless payment (tap & pay) switched on.
However, this is fraught with its own risk. Those who want to use this
feature, are advised to carry their debit/credit card wrapped in an
alluminium foil or alluminium wallet. This considerably reduces the
risk of someone swiping the card without cardholder's consent when it
is inside their pocket/wallet.

 Dear Access Indians,
 Of late I have been increasingly experiencing merchants using touch
 screen which makes virtually impossible to enter credit card pin.  Any
 idea what is the solution for independently   entering the pin without
 seeking sighted assistance.  Personally I feel my security is
 compormise if I take sighted assistance to enter pin for credit card/
 debit card.
 Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

RE: [AI] inAccessible Point of Sale swipe machine (touch screen)

[George Abraham]

This is certainly an emerging problem which will only get worse. 

If the transaction is less than Rs5k and if your credit/Debit card has a built 
in chip than you can ask to do the transaction via wifi. This will not require 
kyou  to put in your pin. However, if the amount is more than Rs5k then you 
have a genuine problem. I do not think we should settle for a flimsy work 
around.

I have filed a case in this regard with the Delhi High Court in November 2019. 
The case has had a couple of hearings so far.

Best,

George

[AI] Can A visually impaired join in NSS?

[ganesh reddy]

If the person is blind, can he/she join in
NSS; (National Service Scheme)?

Most colleges and Universities offers NSS as part of their curriculum,
I think, NCC will not be applicable to Visually impaired persons, But
we can contribute to the NSS,
Do let me know, if visually impaired person can participate or not.

[AI] Working towards increasing the powers of CCPD/ SCPD

[Narendra Sathe]

Hello All,

The Rights of Persons With Disabilities RPWD Act, 2016 provides for
setting up of CCPD/ SCPD, a specialized forum for addressing our
grievances. However as per the Act these forums can only make
recommendations and they do not possess the powers of imposing penalty
or imprisonment in case of violation of the Act or in case there is
discrimination only on the basis of disability.
Therefore in my opinion we need to work on this aspect by making
representations to appropriate authorities
Once CCPD/ SCPD is equipped with giving punishments then only the
rights and interests of disabled in our country could be protected in
the true  spirit.
I am ready to be apart of this drive and willing to contribute
whatever is possible in making CCPD/ SCPD the best forums for deciding
matters of disabled in our country.

thanks gajendra
However chances of errors within this trial method would be high.
This work around may not be pragmatic or feasible at times.
