Description
Technology is developing quickly, but often needs to be adapted to be accessible for persons with a vision and hearing impairment. We believe it is important to share experiences, so that all of us can inspire and learn from each other. This way, smart solutions may be used by many more persons.
Our focus is on the broad field of technology that is applicable for people with deafblindness, both acquired and congenital. We aim to find technology that encourages self-determination, communication, independence, and entertainment. Activities refer to:
- Making existing and new technology in a wide range of branches, including ICT and audiology, accessible for people with deafblindness
- Collecting needs and ideas (related to this topic) from people with deafblindness. Finding technical solutions, either by adjustment of existing applications or by developing new technology
- Promote scientific research on haptic perception and haptic technology
- Share information about existing devices and applications in relation to persons with deafblindness and their involved professionals
