Dot Pad, the tablet that translates the web into Braille with AI
Dot Pad not only makes more Braille material available, it also does so in an easily accessible way. A really nice shot!

The startups' idea is to take ordinary cells from patients, such as skin cells, and turn them into hair-forming cells.
Until now, wearable robotics (exoskeletons and other ancillary devices) were only manual. Now we are studying how to make it autonomous.
Vision problems are real "killers". Millions and millions of adults over 40 are blind or partially sighted: here's how technology can help them.
Sustainable mobility is the new short-term goal of the human species. Many startups today will drive transportation, and some of the economy, tomorrow. Here are 5 really promising ones.
In this post I list 7 emerging technologies that can revolutionize our future.
The development of an artificial retina is the major advance in research into a bionic eye that is potentially able to see better than the human eye.
A new approach creates a "bionic eye" capable of transmitting visual information directly to the brain. To see without using biological eyes.
Read information, watch a movie, get directions directly in the eyes. Even if they are closed. Smart contact lenses, bright future.
A research team from Columbia Engineering took inspiration from the traditional cane for the blind. The result is a “robotic stick,” an assistant equipped with a LiDAR laser that offers the ability to “touch” objects with light to help traverse a space. Canine (from “Dog”, stick) is the name of this device that redefines the concept of spatial autonomy and improves walking stability for everyone, blind and blind. According to a preliminary investigation carried out by… Read more
It's called Aipoly and it's an app that allows blind or partially sighted people to "see" what's around them. Aipoly is an artificial intelligence app that allows you to explore the world in a different way, through a technology that communicates what you are framing with a guiding voice, obviously thanks to the use of the smartphone camera. The app currently allows you to identify around 1.000 different objects and 900 colors in real time. Aipoly was presented for the first… Read more
Keratopigmentation: an analysis of progress and challenges after years of use. Will changing eye color be an increasingly widespread practice?
A display that is always "visible", because it is positioned directly on the eye: augmented reality contact lenses are making great strides towards complete realization.
A brain implant combined with an "artificial retina" allows a patient to see after 16 years of blindness.
