More White Sticks than I’ve seen in years
At Shoreham Centre on 27 Feb 2024
A very popular event for the blind and partially sighted.
We were talking to “The Supermarkets” but the most exciting speaker was from Proctor and Gamble. They have two life-changing innovations:
- Adding a surface pattern, vertical lines on shampoo bottles and circles for the conditioner so you can tell the difference when you are in the shower )with soap in your eye)
- Adopting “Navilens” to their products so you can find what you are looking for a supermarket’s shelf, from 10m away and then listen to the product details .
The most important element is meeting others with the same problem. One person told me about “Voice Vista” an app that tells you the street scene as you walk along. I t could be really good.
Three developments that may create a better life for us all
