40 Examples Of Technology And Innovation Applied To The Ones Who Really Need It

My mom is blind and uses her touch to "see" things. She can explain why she thinks things are beautiful that you may not think look beautiful. This would actually be really neat to take her to. I would love to understand what she thinks of the art as she touches it and describes it, and see what's beautiful to her, versus my thoughts on it.

That is fantastic. So much of the art world is off limits to blind people. I love this idea.

Such an amount bonus to help more people experience art.🧡

Even though the blind person can perceive the colors or the sheer size of the paintings, I can't keep thinking that whoever she/he came with, they would be able to converse and therefore share the experience. One could say " the beautiful hair of the lady on the right, so long and wavy," and the blind person could say and feel the thought of the other and vice-versa. They are making the experience quite satisfying for them.

That's true and I stood in front of the birth on Venus for an hour. Only good thing about Italy. The tour guide was not thrilled

Wow, This is incredible.

There was a guy who used to come to a local bar and preferred to be at the bar. He had a similar wheelchair that enabled him to "stand" at the bar with friends

Awesome in both meanings of the word.

every human has a right to use any technology

Permobil wheelchair. I do hope that kids would be encouraged to be into biomedical engineering and robotics.

As an adult wheelchair user this is brilliant. It must also mean they have wheelchair access to the turtle which carousels never do. I would've loved this as a kid (and still would tbh)!

There's also an entire amusement park in San Antonio, Texas called 'Morgan's Wonderland' that we took or son with Spina Bifida to a few years ago -- everything is geared towards mobility and sensory issues. It's pretty awesome. :)

The carousel at the traveling fair near my house has a horse and pumpkin carriage for wheel chairs . Great for parents who have a kid in and not in a wheelchair.

I imagine it was designed in a similar way to the wheelchair swings, just mounted to the floor.

The carousel at the Toronto Zoo has the same sea turtle with wheelchair access!

A park near us has one. It's a platform on chains next to the other swings. Typically developing kids think it's fun also! It doesn't have the independent swinging rope though. Genius.

☺ is so cool. All of these are cool

We have ones in Australia called mobility swings which are similar but have more straps to secure the chairs than this seems to. I think I would be nervous the wheelchair brake would come undone and the chair would roll!

I wonder how many tries it took to get the design right considering the extra weight of the wheelchair and platform.

awww, this is great ^.^

Does it work? I've only cared for those with such severe dementia they would not recognize it as a bus stop, but maybe it is efficient for the earlier stages

Can someone elaborate on why these work?

Who ever thought that up should receive a raise.

Clever

Genius

It's so coooooool that he would build that for his wife

That's love!

Necessity is the mother of invention.

WOW! WHAT A GUY!

He is also a Youtuber with nearly 6 million subscribers.

This brought a year to my eye.....I'm colour blind and I never knew this existed....this is what I need not want!!

This is so very cool. Colorblindness runs in my family.........and I sadly passed it on to both of my sons. Being an artist, I really feel bad about that. I so very love this.

Blue ridge parkway.

amazing for everyone who needs it

Loooove this one! But cannot imagine their situation if color blind people cannot buy special glasses. Once you will see all colors using this viewfinders, you can't forget and live your life like before.

I wish we had this in the UK. I get so stressed crossing the road,especially in my manual chair and the road is slightly curved. Makes it so difficult. And even in my electric chair on the top speed, it's not always fast enough.

These are needed the world over! I'm a disabled senior and often need more time. It's really frightening to cross a busy intersection!

This makes perfect sense. Idk how many times I have seen people almost get hit while trying to cross a street.
