In her TED@IBM talk, inventor and IBM Fellow Chieko Asakawa spoke about how technology is improving the quality of life for people who are blind.
Asakawa, blind since the age of fourteen, discussed how she developed a digital Braille editor, dictionary and library network.
Watch the ten-minute video to learn how new technologies under development allow people who are blind to see the real world, through a concept called cognitive assistance. Fascinating!
