The Technology Transfer RERC (T2RERC) Demand-Pull project focuses on the
transfer of emerging technology solutions to the marketplace for people with
disabilities. The 2003-2004 Demand-Pull project on technology for people
with visual impairments has collected information on the market needs, the
current status of AT, and the technology that is essential to meet the current
and future needs of people with visual impairment. This paper will present
the most relevant findings from the Industry Profile on Visual Impairment,
the Stakeholders Forum on Visual Impairment, and the problem statements that
resulted from these activities. Problem statements call for development of
needed technology in four areas: access to textual information, access to
graphical information, access to consumer electronics, and way finding technologies.
