Regards Padmanabham -- Forwarded message -- Footwear for the Blind: Bluetooth shoes The Economist http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2012/07/footwear-blind JUL 14 2012, 9:09 by A.A.K. ~ Mumbai MORE than 285 million people across the globe suffer from visual impairment. Yet the tools to assist the blind in walking have changed little since the 1920s, when their canes started being painted white to make other pedestrians more aware of their presence. The gizmos that do exist have tended to be expensive and clunky, and have not caught on. This may change if Anirudh Sharma, a 24-year-old computer engineer from Hyderabad, a city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, has his way. His innovation, dubbed Le Chal (take me along in Hindi) pairs a smartphone app with a small actuator sewn inside the sole of one shoe via Bluetooth. The user tells the phone his desired destination, which is translated into electronic commands using voice-recognition software. The app, which can be programmed to run in the background, fetches the local map of the area. The phone's Global Positioning System (GPS) tracks the person's location in real-time, telling the actuator to vibrate when it is time to turn. The side of the shoe where the vibration is felt indicates which way to go. Mr Sharma opted for a vibrating signal because for the blind, who rely on their sense of hearing to make sense of the environment, audio feedback is a distraction. The system does not require constant internet access. Once downloaded, maps can be stored locally and combined with GPS data. The app uses Open Street Maps (OSM), an open-source rival to Google Maps. OSM allows editing, a helpful feature in updating rapidly changing urban landscapes. A speed-dial function can rapidly retrieve the most frequently visited routes. The shoe pod is also equipped with an obstacle-detection mechanism. A sensor in the tip of the shoe, devised by Mr Sharma's business partner, Krispian Lawrence, scans the vicinity using sonar, which emits ultrasounds that bounce off obstacles, indicating their presence. The shoe sets off a distinct pattern of vibrations to alert the person of any obstruction and guides him around it. For now, the footwear, being tested at the L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, one of India's biggest eye-health facilities, may be most useful in areas with little or no traffic, such as quiet residential streets or parks. The challenge, Mr Lawrence says, is to get the algorithm to tell an uncovered manhole from a flight of stairs, but he expects it to be able to do so in due course. Dealing with moving obstacles like cars may take longer, though the pair are working on ways to alert wearers not just about cars' presence, but also their speed. To ensure that the final product resembles a regular shoe, fashion technologists are being consulted to help with ergonomics and design. Mr Sharma and Mr Lawrence, who started a company called Ducere Technologies to commercialise their idea, say their high-tech brogues should not cost more than an ordinary, stylish pair. Many of the world's visually impaired will like the sound of that. --- __._,_.___ Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Tasks more commonly associated with smartphones like using Twitter, reading text messages and taking a picture have also been updated to be much easier to use and accessible to visually impaired people for the first time. Georgie is available from £299, or the unique features are available to download as an app for anyone with an existing Android smartphone from £149. Founded by blind husband and wife team Roger and Margaret Wilson-Hinds, Screenreader had a clear idea about how a smartphone should be for visually impaired users, so enlisted Alan Kemp as Chief Technical Officer to bring the idea to fruition. Georgie, named after Margaret's first Golden Labrador guide dog, is the work of 18 months of development and testing, working closely with the blind community for their feedback. Georgie makes use of Google's Android operating system and existing Samsung phones like the Samsung XCover and Galaxy Ace 2, picked specifically to be easy to use for blind users. The large buttons on an uncluttered screen, voice feedback whenever the screen's touched and an innovative way to select the desired option also make the basic functions of the phone easier to use for visually impaired people, as well as those unfamiliar with modern technology. I was able to send my very first text just earlier this year thanks to Georgie said Screenreader co-founder Roger Wilson-Hinds. It's exactly that type of digital experience we want to make easily available to people with little or no sight. More than that though, it's also going to help solve every day problems for blind people so they can be more confident about navigating the real world and become independent. Glenn Tookey, CEO of Sight and Sound Technology added Companies like Apple and Google have done a good job of adding accessibility tools to smartphones, but Georgie is the first smartphone solution developed with the visually

Re: [AI] New device can help visually impaired 'see' using music
Please give more information regarding the new device -Original message- From: Vikas Kapoor Sent: 07/07/2012, 11:30 To: Access India Subject: [AI] New device can help visually impaired 'see' using music New device can help visually impaired 'see' using music Published: Friday, Jul 6, 2012, 15:50 IST Place: Washington, DC | New device can help visually impaired 'see' using music Published: Friday, Jul 6, 2012, 15:50 IST Place: Washington, DC | Agency: ANI Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a new device that converts images into music to help individuals without vision reach for objects in space. Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) use sound or touch to help the visually impaired perceive the visual scene surrounding them. The ideal SSD would assist not only in sensing the environment but also in performing daily activities based on this input. For example, accurately reaching for a coffee cup, or shaking a friend's hand. In a new study, Hebrew scientists trained blindfolded sighted participants to perform fast and accurate movements using their new SSD, called EyeMusic. The EyeMusic employs pleasant musical tones and scales to help the visually impaired see using music. This non-invasive SSD converts images into a combination of musical notes, or soundscapes. The device was developed by the senior author Prof. Amir Amedi and his team at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC) and the Institute for Medical Research Israel-Canada at the Hebrew University. The EyeMusic scans an image and represents pixels at high vertical locations as high-pitched musical notes and low vertical locations as low-pitched notes according to a musical scale that will sound pleasant in many possible combinations. The image is scanned continuously, from left to right, and an auditory cue is used to mark the start of the scan. The horizontal location of a pixel is indicated by the timing of the musical notes relative to the cue (the later it is sounded after the cue, the farther it is to the right), and the brightness is encoded by the loudness of the sound. The EyeMusic's algorithm uses different musical instruments for each of the five colours: white (vocals), blue (trumpet), red (reggae organ), green (synthesized reed), yellow (violin); Black is represented by silence. Prof. Amedi said The notes played span five octaves and were carefully chosen by musicians to create a pleasant experience for the users. We demonstrated in this study that the EyeMusic, which employs pleasant musical scales to convey visual information, can be used after a short training period (in some cases, less than half an hour) to guide movements, similar to movements guided visually, explained lead investigators Dr. Shelly Levy-Tzedek, an ELSC researcher at the Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and Prof. Amir Amedi. The level of accuracy reached in our study indicates that performing daily tasks with an SSD is feasible, and indicates a potential for rehabilitative use, they added The study tested the ability of 18 blindfolded sighted individuals to perform movements guided by the EyeMusic, and compared those movements to those performed with visual guidance. At first, the blindfolded participants underwent a short familiarization session, where they learned to identify the location of a single object (a white square) or of two adjacent objects (a white and a blue square) In the test sessions, participants used a stylus on a digitizing tablet to point to a white square located either in the north, the south, the east or the west. In one block of trials they were blindfolded (SSD block), and in the other block (VIS block) the arm was placed under an opaque cover, so they could see the screen but did not have direct visual feedback from the hand. The endpoint location of their hand was marked by a blue square. In the SSD block, they received feedback via the EyeMusic. In the VIS block, the feedback was visual. Participants were able to use auditory information to create a relatively precise spatial representation, notes Dr Levy-Tzedek. The study lends support to the hypothesis that representation of space in the brain may not be dependent on the modality with which the spatial information is received, and that very little training is required to create a representation of space without vision, using sounds to guide fast and accurate movements. SSDs may have great potential to provide detailed spatial information for the visually impaired, allowing them to interact with their external environment and successfully make movements based on this information, but further research is now required to evaluate the use of our device in the blind, concluded Dr. Levy-Tzedek. Their results were published in the July issue of Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience.

Hope that everyone is going on fine. I wanted to ask a question that is, Why can't there be a rule in all buildings that are having lifts to have a talking software so that it can be more accessible for us to go to different floors? Why can't it be a fixed rule so that when they built the lifts / elivators they can install the software? Why don't we take action regarding this? Want suggestions from others. Hope to hear from you soon.
