Hi all, I am doing some of my own, freelance research and am seeking the help of those who are "in the know"... I am interested in learning about all currently active projects to create a portable accessibility device for the purpose of reading print and tactile access to images. I am thinking about something similar to the old Optacon. I have heard of a couple of such projects, but information seems to be very sparce. Please respond off-list if you know anything about any of these projects. What will be the features of such a device when it goes into production and what will be its price tag. I feel that having an affordable version of such a device might represent our only near-term hope to gain greater accessibility to the world around us. Thanks.
