Building the Next Generation of Blindness Technology

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun are joined by Adi Kushnir, the man behind the company Access Mind, which has partnered with Orbit Research to build the Optima Braille Laptop. It’s a Windows-based system running the latest hardware and is customizable to your needs and contains a laptop-style QWERTY keyboard and a 40-cell Braille display. Adi has spent his career building and developing new technologies to advance people who are blind through education into the workplace and believes a different approach is needed to ensure our success long term. It’s an interesting and thought-provoking conversation and we cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it. Email your comments to [email protected] or call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.
