Title

Institute Welcomes Visiting Scholar, Dr. Sile O'Modhrain

"The thing that never ceases to amaze me about SKERI is the range of activities one can engage in here as a blind researcher. I have worked with Josh Miele on developing projects for the Blind Arduino group, with Val Morash on looking at basic percepts in haptics, and I have built an audio continuity tester with Bill Gerrey. And now Josh and I are working with a full-page tactile array to develop methods for creating an entirely new form of content for blind users."
