Day 6 –Learn about assistive technologies, and share one you liked (hardware).



Assistive technology refers to devices or systems that help maintain or improve a person’s ability to do things in everyday life. These can assist with a range of difficulties, including problems with memory and mobility.

Assistive technologies include not only High Tech tools but some are also Low tech &  without tech too. Examples are as followers.




While exploring the assistive technologies I came across a refreshable braille display which is a reading aid for blind or visually impaired people.

Refreshable Braille Displays (RBD) are peripheral devices that display braille characters, usually raising and lowering dots through holes in a flat surface. Users can input braille using the 6 or 8 key Perkins-style braille keyboard. An RBD can be paired with a computer, tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth connection and/or a chord.


Here is a short video on how the Refreshable Braille Display works.

                              Recently I did a presentation after almost 20 years at a Bootcamp showcase on Agile. As Agile celebrated its 20th anniversary this year I decided to talk on what Agile is? Below are the few drops from Agile's ocean which I managed to pour during my showcase.
