In the latest episode of TEC Talk Luke and Cory, assistive technology specialists at Vision Forward Association, are joined by a special guest to discuss the BrainPort sensory substitution device. Dr. Patricia Grant, Director of Research for Wicab, talks us through how the BrainPort provides a method of sensing the world around you with your tongue! Sounds strange, but for people with no vision the BrainPort is another tool that can help them distinguish things in their environment, helping with navigating safely and carrying out tasks that would otherwise not be possible.
