Update to the Final Ordering Dates from the Va Store

 

8 December except for WA which is the 1st of Dec to make sure you get your orders in by Christmas.

 

Another Way to access the Va Library

 

My Experience having more time with the daisy function in the Brailliant, especially accessing the Vision rare

Australia Library.

 

Obstacle Detecter  App

 

An interesting app using LIDAR for detecting distances from objects on the iPhone Pro or from front camera on other units.

My Most Interesting Device for 2023

 

I think it has to be the SensePlayer OCR ET.

FM Radio, Smart Keyboard to my iPhone, web radio, podcasts, daisy books, stopwatch etc.

 

 

OctoStudio A Block Based Programming App by Perkins School for the Blind

 

Actually, pretty amazing and accessible to teach the concepts of coding.
