Assistive Technologies for Visually Impaired

Hi fellow Bloggers,
   Kim Milan here as a first time Blogger. Assistive technologies have provided us exciting tools to aid those with disabilities. As stated in the excellent definition in Renee's post, this is a category that includes any individual with a disability. I chose to highlight a product that aids the visually impaired. I added  to the Assistive Technologies a links that provides news of new technologies for the blind or visually impaired.

  The OrCam is a wearable device that detects what you are looking at, recognizes the presence of text, and speaks the text aloud.Image result for orcam
