This is in line with the adding number of companies espousing inclusive designs that can be handled easily by multitudinous people.
Reported by Japan Today, Friday(24/5/2024), Sony Corp last time launched a digital camera that projects subjects captured by the device onto the user's retina via shaft technology.
The device allows visually impaired people to see goods through the viewfinder and take prints. Developed in conjunction with shaft device maker QD Laser Inc, based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, the camera, the DSC- HX99 RNV Kit, uses a method that relies less on the eye's ability to focus.
The Tokyo-based electronics giant said the companies are donating about 200 such cameras to schools and facilities for the visually impaired across Japan so they can experience the joy of expressing themselves through taking pictures.
Scholars at the Tokyo Hachioji Metropolitan School for the Blind in western Tokyo are enthusiastic about using the cameras. “I saw everything fluently.
I can take prints,” said one pupil after experimenting with the product last month. star Yukiko Tajima said the new technology allows scholars to have a richer experience. “We hope to find a way to make good use of the cameras,” Tajima said.
Japanese toymaker Tomy Co in April launched a driving game that helps visually crippled players maneuver vehicles with the help of a variety of voice instructions, analogous as, “Turn left,” or “Rival machine is in the middle.
” The device allows addicts to take part in various scripts, analogous as chasing thieves to contend with other motorcars on a circuit.
It also provides audible instructions that explain the rules of each game, the company says.
In 2020, Citizen Watch Co launched a watch that allows people to read the time by touching their hand, helping addicts who may be bothered about disturbing their surroundings by wearing a watch that can tell the time with sound.
The product was developed in collaboration with an academy for the visually crippled in Thailand and the watchmaker plans to take their opinions into account when designing new products, he said.
