11:00 am: Select the Right Tech11:00 am: Select the Right Tech – If you’re blind or visually impaired, finding the right piece of access technology can be a big, and sometimes daunting, undertaking, but knowing what options can meet your needs is the first step. Back by popular demand, here’s a chance to see first hand the latest and greatest in access technology. We’ve invited a variety of access technology vendors to come show you magnification, Braille displays, hand held devices, apps, and more. You can browse the vendor tables, compare devices, and ask questions. While you’re here, chat with a LightHouse technology specialist to get tips on selecting the right technology to meet your individual needs, and learn how you can receive training on your access technology here at the LightHouse. For questions, or to RSVP, contact Shen Kuan, skuan@lighthouse-sf.org or (415) 694-7312. Invite your friends and bookmark the event on Facebook. *LightHouse offers space for vendors to show their products to the blind community, but vendor participation in this event does not imply Lighthouse endorsement.* 5:15 pm: Test event form5:15 pm: Test event form – this is a test of the form. |
