You k...I think all people deserve to be educated. <br /><br />You know, we live in an ignorant society, and if I can make even one person aware of others who need assistance, then jnoi is going to do it! lol<br /><br />I remember Stormcrow and his first days with the cane, he was as nervous using it as I was being whacked with it (which still happens all too often.) <br /><br />He is such a techie kinda guy, he would probably LOVE the WII. But noooooo he's too busy reviewing and listening to movies now. lol (kidding) :)jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-46747732507669322202010-06-10T09:27:15.997-05:002010-06-10T09:27:15.997-05:00Yeah probably kids born blind, or kids with a dege...Yeah probably kids born blind, or kids with a degenerative eye condition. I can see how the Wii would really help with that, since the remote vibrates, so you could "feel" surfaces. I think it be great for those of us who went blind later too. Might have to talk to Saavi about it. It would be a totally non scary way of experiencing the cane. <br /><br />Oh and I wanted to say that I like that you write about blind stuff here. It's important for people to know, so folks that read here looking for writing, are inadvertantly getting educated on blindness.Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221466457945806775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-88133807617666424412010-06-10T09:22:57.439-05:002010-06-10T09:22:57.439-05:00I KNEW I could count on you!!!
Thank you!
I thou...I KNEW I could count on you!!!<br /><br />Thank you! <br />I thought it said about teaching kids. I guess this would be children who are born blind? A tool to help them navigate? <br />I still think it is awesome to think of where technology has come with helping all of the able-bodied people who just need a little assistance. ;)<br /><br />Thanks again Ro!jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-48630871475424350522010-06-10T09:16:53.229-05:002010-06-10T09:16:53.229-05:00If I remember right, it's a teaching tool to h...If I remember right, it's a teaching tool to help children learn the concept. It's not an actual cane that you take out into the world. But there are a lot of really awesome tools being designed to make the cane more than just a cane. Thing is, look at how much a screen reader is. Now look at how much a cane is. I think I'll keep the same old non technilogical cane. ;)Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221466457945806775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-52353184711973188272010-06-10T06:25:38.407-05:002010-06-10T06:25:38.407-05:00Sure ya will Stormcrow, sure ya will. :P
