Dallas: Breakthrough innovation is talk of conference this week
By KIM HORNER / The Dallas Morning News
The 3,000 people in Dallas this week for the National Federation of the Blind convention are getting a demonstration of what life is like when you can read printed menus, mail, business cards and memos.
Dwight Sayer photographs the nametag of Barbara Loos at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas with the Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader. An innovative handheld device that snaps a photo and then reads material aloud has been the biggest attraction at the exhibit hall in Dallas' Hilton Anatole Hotel. The federation teamed up with inventor Ray Kurzweil to create the device, which is being unveiled for the first time.
The Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader, the first portable device of its kind, looks like a PDA attached to a camera.
