I’m an Industrial Design student and I’m working on a project to extend the senses of visual impaired people (VIP). I chose the assumed problem of these people having problems with locating inaudible things. As an optional solution I made a quick prototype able to identify things that you are ‘looking’ at. This requires the objects/persons/buildings/things to be tagged with a special sticker. It works on a distance of about 3-60 feet.

Until this point I used my own imagination, but now I really need some input of blind people. Are there maybe some VIP over here that can already see some particular use cases by reading the description of my prototype? I’m interested in everything you have to say about it :)

Secondly, do someone knows any more online communities, IRC channels, Facebook groups or whatsoever where I can find visually impaired people willing to help me in my project?
