Last week saw the 40th CSUN Assistive Technology Conference take place in Anaheim, California, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, educators, researchers and users from all over the world. As ever, a wide variety of braille products was on show at the exhibit hall, and the conference programme featured several braille-related presentations including research on how the length of a braille display affects reading speed, reflections on 200 years of tactile literacy, and the first public draft of the new EBraille specification.
In this session, we’re excited to be joined by the team from Double Tap, the popular technology show from Accessible Media Inc. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece both attended CSUN for the first time this year. They will tell us about the braille products they saw and share their perspectives on how CSUN compares with exhibitions like Sight Village in the UK.
We will also be joined by Australian assistive technology expert and braille enthusiast Scott Erichsen. Scott has been at the forefront of the development of braille technology for over twenty years as a user, a private beta tester and a distributor, and will tell us about the new and improved products in the exhibit hall. He will also share his insights into how the braille technology industry is evolving and the part that CSUN plays in driving innovation forwards.
