Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing an audio reading device to be worn on the index finger of people whose vision is impaired, giving them affordable and immediate access to printed words.
The so-called FingerReader, a prototype produced by a 3D printer, fits like a ring on the user's finger, equipped with a small camera that scans text. A synthesized voice reads words aloud, quickly translating books, restaurant menus and other needed materials for daily living, especially away from home or office.
Anyone planning to take part in this?
I see no reason to not try and better myself with free classes.
Think I might take a look into it..
I like to watch the sessions on youtube. I'ts almost like going to M.I.T.
Depends on the courses, I might take a look.
