November 3, 2009: Visit: Sight World
Training Report - Leadership Development Course
What is Sight World?
This is the unprecedented and comprehensive event for persons with visual impairments which marks
its 4th anniversary.
Visitors could see the exhibition of equipments with the most advanced technology and daily devices
for persons with visual impairments.
Additionally, various seminars, forums, workshops and concerts were also held during three-day
events.
Participants observed and tried those exhibits that utilize Induction Heating, Ultrasonic beam or
the other technologies.
The prices of some of them are more than a million yen.
However, on the other hand, exhibits were not only those advanced devices, but also daily devices
which had only small differences with ordinary devices such as notch, projections or Braille seals.
Those little ingenuities made devices useful for persons with visual impairments.
All participants were very surprised at the latest technologies and could know useful ideas of devices for persons with visual impairments.
