Re: [AI] behing humiliated at the railway station

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

Friends Here I would like to add another thing now a days ID proof is
necessary while reserving Railway ticket, I faced a problem recently
while coming from Hubli in Karnataka to New Delhi, by Goa Express I
had showed by Office Government I card while reserving the ticket at
Old Delhi Reservation counter but while coming from Hubli TT told that
in the ticket in ID proof column it is written driving license I
argued and showed my office card but still TT did not agree at all and
told me to pay penalty of Rs.3600/ double the normal ticket of AC 3
tier of normal rate after long argument he left me, my question is
though I have reserved the ticket on Blind Concession how can ticket
reserving person can write Driving License in ID column of ticket so
my request is to all of you is to check their ticket after reservation
immediately.

Re: [AI] how to activate talkback?

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

Friend, first go to samsung settings by pressing left bottom corner
there is a finger touch, then search for accessability which is I
think third last in 30 items of samsung galaxy then inside
accessability the fourth option is talks back double tap on that when
you go inside talksback on right cornor upper side of the screen there
is on & off double tap on it it asks would you like to start talkback
double tap two times on OK then your talksback is started, but first
time you should take help of a sighted person, for me shop keeper
himself switched on the talks back,

Re: [AI] Electronic cane to support visually challenged

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

the same kind of white cane was demonstrated in Sayeverything
convention in Jodhpur by Mr.Sath guru Rathi, from saksham on 19th
October, it is good but the only problem is if you come across any
water or cowdung it will not inform you.

 Electronic cane to support visually challenged
  | 3:17 PM | G. V. Prasada Sarma |


 In a smart world man has a number of gadgets to make his work and life
 comfortable and communicate faster. But for the visually challenged
 poor,
 it is still a cane that helps him/her find way. With increasing
 population

 and traffic and spaces becoming more crowded, its use is becoming
 difficult.

 To help overcome the handicap, the Vision Aid Charitable Services
 Society
 (VACSS) here has come out with an electronic cane.

 The cane measuring 20 inches is made of UPVC. It comprises a sensor
 with
 transmitter and receiver at the lower-end, a vibrator close to the grip
 and works on a rechargeable battery.

 Beeps and vibrations
 When the user switches it on, it emits broken beeps and vibration when
 the

 object/obstacle is in the vicinity and continuous beep when closer. The
 beep is to alert the other people about the presence of a visually
 challenged person and the vibration alerts the user about the objects
 in
 the path.

 “The range is about 1.5 metres. Anything longer is likely to be
 counterproductive and if it is too short may lead to collision,”
 explains
 M.S. Raju, president of VACSS.

 Quoting World Health Organisation statistics, Mr. Raju, an IITian from
 Kharagpur and former executive chairman of the Stone Telecom, says
 while
 about two crore people have visual impairment in the country, the
 highest
 in the world, half of them cannot see at all.

 About 20 lakh have to move about to lead their life. For them there has
 not been any improvement over the white cane for a long time now, he
 observes.

 Mr. Raju says the electronic cane being produced in the other countries
 is

 either expensive or the research is incomplete.

 In the country, IIT, Delhi and Kharagpur, have developed prototypes
 with
 more sensors and analogue system where the users are alerted through
 earphones. However, it cuts off the user from the environment, he
 points
 out. They are costlier, longer and heavier, he says.

 The cane developed by the VACSS is easy to use and costs a maximum of
 Rs.2,500.

Re: [AI] signs or thumb marks for the VI on important documents

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

in case of purchase of property both signature & thumb ipression is
necessary because in Shimoga in Karnataka recently I purchased land
and there I had to do both in registrar office, related to reading of
documents always in such time you should accompany with of any sighted
person who is very close to you, scaning & laptops doesn't work in
Registrar office, simply talking of carrying of laptops & scanners to
registrar Offices and any other government offices while signing
documents is not easy, there you have to depend any sincere person
either your spouse or parants

 sorry, what is a signature guide?? where is it available?? some details
 please.
 and i think its only fair to get the person who brings the document to
 read it to u at least the relevant bits before u sign, if u dont have
 any1 else more trust worthy around. usually in matters of a serious
 nature, they do allow u to take it home and give it a day for u to go
 through it and sign. its very rarely at gun point where u have to sign
 immediately. so it shouldn't be so much of a problem.
 of course making a xerox coppy after u sign the document is also
 equally important for any future reference, or in case of any
 discrepancy between 2 parties.
 at leasst for property related issues, they always give u enough time
 to go through it at your own pace.

here only blaming broker is not good, in india many marriages are done
through brokers, but if he or she is educated then they should surely
disclose their disability before marrying a normal person, there is no
worse thing than hiding your disability, even me to while marrying in
2000 I disclosed my vision disability, though i have 25% sight but I

Re: [AI] Gujarat Government blind towards blinds' interest ...

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

Sir as Gareema said the situation of blind persons is more or less
same throughout the country, I belong to Karnataka now ask my friends
of Karnataka of this list has Karnataka government reserved any seats
for Blind Persons in Primary or High school level, or tell me any one
blind person working as primary or high school teacher appointed in VH
quota in normal schools, because of this reason in search of job I had
to come to Delhi 14 years back, here in Delhi because of Mr.Kaul &
Mr.Rungta blind persons are leading peaceful life, but NGOs of
Karnataka never help blind persons.

yes it is true Ms.Pallavi, I too belong to Karnataka, and had finished
PG in Sociology from Kuvempu University in 1999 but the attitude of
politicians & University Staff I was forced to leave Karnataka in
search of Job, for the past 14 years I am staying in Delhi working in
central government as clerical job, what I think is bangalore is most

backward city & karnataka is very least developed state for blinds.

Yes Manjunath I agree with you, only in recent few years back Visually
Impaired are appointed in few jobs, but still in Primary school & high
school teachers are not appointed and whoever are appointed in
government services in Karnataka please write about their condition
also.

[AI] New technology aids the blind do yoga

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

Scientists have developed an innovative software programme that
watches a user's movements and gives spoken feedback on what to change
to accurately complete a yoga pose.
"My hope for this technology is for people who are blind or low-vision
to be able to try it out, and help give a basic understanding of yoga
in a more comfortable setting," said project lead Kyle Rector, a
University of Washington doctoral student in computer science and
engineering.

The programme, called Eyes-Free Yoga, uses Microsoft Kinect software
to track body movements and offer auditory feedback in real time for
six yoga poses.

Rector wrote programming code that instructs the Kinect to read a
user's body angles, then gives verbal feedback on how to adjust his or
her arms, legs, neck or back to complete the pose.

For example, the programme might say: "Rotate your shoulders left" or
"Lean sideways toward your left".

The result is an accessible yoga 'exergame' a video game used for
exercise that allows people without sight to interact verbally with a
simulated yoga instructor.

Rector and collaborators Julie Kientz, a UW assistant professor in
Human Centered Design & Engineering, and Cynthia Bennett, a research
assistant in computer science and engineering, believe this can
transform a typically visual activity into something that blind people
can also enjoy.

Each of the six poses has about 30 different commands for improvement
based on a dozen rules deemed essential for each yoga position. Rector
worked with a number of yoga instructors to put together the criteria
for reaching the correct alignment in each pose.

The Kinect first checks a person's core and suggests alignment
changes, then moves to the head and neck area, and finally the arms
and legs. It also gives positive feedback when a person is holding a
pose correctly.

Rector worked with 16 blind and low-vision people around Washington to
test the programme and get feedback. Several of the participants had
never done yoga before, while others had tried it a few times or took
yoga classes regularly.

Thirteen of the 16 people said they would recommend the programme and
nearly everyone would use it again.

The technology uses simple geometry and the law of cosines to
calculate angles created during yoga. For example, in some poses a
bent leg must be at a 90-degree angle, while the arm spread must form
a 160-degree angle.

The Kinect reads the angle of the pose using cameras and
skeletal-tracking technology, then tells the user how to move to reach
the desired angle.

Rector and collaborators plan to make this technology available online
so users could download the programme, plug in their Kinect and start
doing yoga.

Re: [AI] Delhi state election accessibility check

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

myne was a very tipical experiance in Delhi voting, as soon as I
entered the room I asked for Braille list of candidates but presiding
officer refused such list & stood from her table & read all list of
candidates on EBM machine I requested to her to go back to her seat &
counted the buttons from top to bottom & pressed the desire buttons,
if they would have provided the braille list it would have been easy &
decreased my voting time,

Re: [AI] Accessible voting machine!

[Vivekananda Doddamani.]

it's true Gorge Sir, until & unless we know the list of candidates and
their serial number then how will we come to know to which number we
have to press the button, on EVM machine if the names are provided
against the buttons it will take long time to read where there will be
more candidates, for example in Timarpur constituance there were 12
candidates we can't waste our time reading near EVM machine the other
people in the line will start shouting, so I request you to write to
Election Commission to provide Braille list of candidates outside the
Poling booth so that we can decide to which number we can press
button.
