Impaired Aid

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 22:18:03 +0000

Impaired Aid comprises a suite of software programs that opens up the world to the aurally and the visually impaired people, giving them the chance to be equal partners in society. An engine developed to convert Sinhala text to Braille, and vice versa, offers the visually impaired the facility to read daily newspapers, use word-processing software and read and write emails. Messages typed in Braille are converted into Sinhala and sent to the recipient. If the recipient is also visually impaired, he can read the mail using a refreshable Braille display. Impaired Aid includes also interactive multi-media software to teach written language skills to the hard of hearing and programmes to give hearing impaired students grounding in mathematical concepts letting them keep up with mainstream classmates.

A bunch of quotes from Helen Keller

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:34:15 +0000

Pratyahara aka sense withdrawal is one of the steps involved in going inward.
Concentration, contemplation, meditation. This video is full of various quotes from Helen Keller who was forced into Pratyahara before she could speak. Her perspective is important to remember when equating the sum total of reality with sense perception. Except for the intro, these are ALL her words.

Louis Braille – Bicentenary

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:10:17 +0000

St-Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London for a service of celebration for Louis Braille 1809 – 1852.

The video includes information about the life of Louis Braille and the contribution that he has made to mankind musically, and also by inventing the Braille alphabet which is used worldwide by blind people and the visually impaired.

He became blind after a tragic accident in his father’s workshop aged 3 when one eye was stabbed by an awl. He died aged 43 from tuberculosis – an airborne bacterial pathogen that is destroyed naturally by sunlight (UV – ultraviolet).

This video is posted on the anniversary of Robert Koch’s first presentation of his discovery of the TB bacterium on March 24 1882. It was not long before scientists discovered that direct sunlight (UV) destroys these bacteria in the air!

There is modern UV-C technology available for personal use and for air handling units in offices, public buildings, transport systems, hospitals and clinics. See http://www.relax-well.co.uk

The architect of St Martin-in-the-Fields was Sir Christopher Wren, 300 years ago. The windows were destroyed by bomb damage in World War 2 and redesigned.

BrailleNote Notetaker for the blind

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 09:08:23 +0000

This is just a small glimpse of what I do with my BrailleNote notetaking PDA device. If you are either legally or totally blind, and are grade 2 braille literate, this is the ideal tool for you at home, work, school, or on the go. I’ll be adding more videos of the BrailleNote later, and the same with my computer.
