I chose this video because it demonstrates a new technology that allows people who suffer vision impairment to read in real time. This is a huge step in the world of communication as it allows those who have previously been restricted to audio-books, sufferers of dyslexia, or the vision impaired without access to reading glasses, to enjoy books and other written material with ease. This technology is very recent and opens doorways for people that have previously been closed, helping them leap over the blocks in traditional written communication.

ReplyDeleteNice video mate - I didn't even know that this type of technology was even developed yet; can't imagine how expensive it must be though. But what a great break through for technology really assisting the troubles of everyday life for some. A nice watch.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate.
