Re: Bathroom appliaces for blind/VI users
It's a shame governments don't getmore involved with access and technology really, sinse if you could have some sort of bluetooth scanner on your phone or other device that could beactivated to speak when close to pre set signaling points, that would help with many things.
I have heard that that sort of thing has been tried in a couple of cities in the Uk as a more efficient alternative to a satnav with scanner type things on lamp posts to give street names, but it has lots of other applications, then again as usual it'd take a far more coordinated effort on behalf of the government involved than is likely to happen, not when blindness is so far under the radar as most governments are concerned even when compared to other forms of disability, I always find it ironic that public buildings and many businesses in the Uk are now required to provide wheel chair access in terms of ramps, disabled toilets with hand rails etc, but still most information i s available only in print and have no directional aides at all.
