Technology for the blind!

The video discusses a new NSF-funded e-reader technology designed for visually impaired students like Maureen Hayden, a Ph.D. student at Texas A&M. This system allows blind students to read documents at their own pace using a tactile grid on an iPad, which provides audio feedback. The technology aims to enhance literacy and communication by enabling interaction with literature similar to sighted peers.

What benefits does the technology provide in terms of communication with peers?

Who developed the system and what was the source of funding?
