RSVPs must be received by November 4th to Anabel Prudencio, 213.736.8195, or email anabel.prudencio@lls.edu. Dr. Gardner will briefly describe the reasons that led to the founding of ViewPlus and its development from a one-room business startup in 1999 to a multimillion dollar company today. He will demonstrate the sequence of technologies that ViewPlus has developed, including the ViewPlus tactile graphics and Braille embossers, currently the company's major product line. ViewPlus embossers were developed in his lab at Oregon State University and is exclusively licensed by Oregon State to ViewPlus. ViewPlus has developed an impressive list of supporting software making it easy for anybody who knows how to use a computer to create Braille plus tactile graphics documents. ViewPlus is poised to become a mainstream company with its new IVEO technology making it easy to create graphical information that is usable by blind people. Dr. Gardner will demonstrate IVEO and show why Tiger technology was a critical first step before IVEO could even be possible. ViewPlus has always had an end goal in sight - technologies making it easy to create information that is universally accessible. For more information on ViewPlus, see http://www.ViewPlus.com |
