Wireless Braille keyboard developed
Elhuyar Fundazioa; www.eurekalert.com; Spain
A wireless Braille keyboard with bluetooth technology will now put technology at the fingertips of users with visual disability.
Its compact, portable and ergonomic design makes it extremely user-friendly. The keyboard incorporates bluetooth technology along with infra-red wireless technology. It enables users with visual disability to use the communication interface with a number of current appliances and devices, such as personal computers, P.D.A.s, pocket P.C.s or mobile cell phones.
The wireless Braille keyboard has been designed by 'Robotiker-Tecnalia' (Spain) for O.N.C.E. (the Spanish National Association for the Blind).
