Orbit’s Adi Kushner on Conflict And The Future Of Braille

Steven Scott and Shaun Preece welcome Adi Kushner from Orbit Research and Access Mind for an in-depth discussion on the newest Braille technology releases. Broadcasting from a shelter in Israel amidst ongoing conflict, Adi shares candid insights into living and working under daily threats while continuing to innovate for the blind community. The episode dives deep into the Strata and Flow Braille displays, highlighting the introduction of Piezo Braille technology for quieter, faster, and more familiar tactile output. Adi explains the difference between the Strata 40, 40 Pro, and the ultra-light Flow, designed for portability and instant plug-and-play. They also explore the philosophy behind Orbit’s mission—offering both affordability and premium options to meet diverse user needs—while addressing the ongoing development of Orbit Speak and Orbit Player software, including the new 2.0 update with powerful media and accessibility features.
