Computer scientists are developing new adaptive mobile technology that could enable blind and visually-impaired people to ‘see’ through their smartphone or tablet. The team plans to use color and depth sensor technology inside new smartphones and tablets, like the recent Project Tango by Google, to enable 3D mapping and localization, navigation and object recognition.
Today you’ll meet Bobby Vinton, who has been blind since birth. He is VERY computer literate. He uses a talking program and is interested in all forms of communication; radio, music, etc. Ran into his parents recently Tom & Maureen and they told me he always wanted to “see” how a radio show is done. Come on in Bobby!
