Accessible World Tek Talk Presents SoundPost, December 14, 2009

News Wire

Monday December 14th, 2009,Tek Talk presents Larry Lewis, President Flying 
Blind LLC and Darryl Sherwood, founder of Povidi NZ LTD who will demonstrate 
the SoundPost Orientation System. SoundPost picks up where other GPS and 
Mobility aids leave off by providing a fundamental level of orientation to a 
variety of objects throughout one’s environment. Consisting of a base 
station and a hand controller, SoundPost enables users to independently and 
efficiently navigate to doorways, staircases escalators, etc, traveling 
across complex open spaces to where the base station resides and reaching 
their desired location.

Sherwood and Lewis will discuss their plans for SoundPost in a variety of 
education, corporate, and residential settings, and will spend time fielding 
questions about the viability of such an approach to orientation and 
navigation.
