Smartphone helpers for visually impaired: tips and tools in Wiesbaden!

The afternoon in the Belle Wi model exhibition in Wiesbaden is all about modern technology and its application for people with visual impairments. Thomas Sauer from "Blickpunkt Eye Wiesbaden" will educate the participants in a practice -oriented lecture on the versatile functions of smartphones and apps, which are of great benefits, especially when visiting the eyesight. There are numerous aids and applications that can make everyday life considerably easier, for example by recognizing products or in the orientation in space.

It becomes particularly interesting for the participants who can test different aids in the exhibition itself. Among the devices are screen readers, digital magnifying glasses and voice assistants who aim to improve the quality of life of people with visual impairments. The free access to this event does not require prior registration, which makes participation easier for many.

"week of seeing"

This event takes place as part of the "Week of Seeing", an important sensitization campaign that unfolds in Germany from October 8th to October. The motto "clearly see" emphasizes the importance of eyesight and addresses the causes of avoidable blindness. In addition, the situation of blind and visually impaired people is made aware of both Germany and worldwide.

The action week is supported by various organizations, including the Christoffel blind mission, the German Blind and Visually Impaired Association as well as the professional association of ophthalmologists in Germany. This cooperation shows the broad basis that is committed to the concerns of people with visual impairments. Interested parties can find out more about the diverse actions and their importance on the website www.woche-des-sehens.de

The provision of such events is not only important for the direct support and information of those affected, but also for the elucidation of the public about the challenges that people with visual impairments have to cope with every day.
