Major tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google have a new USB HID (Human Interface Device) standard for Braille displays; making computers far more accessible to the blind and people with visual impairments. The technology allows people to use Braille displays across different operating systems and devices, no longer having to concern themselves with the myriad of drivers and software.

The visually impaired could be utilizing the advancement early next year.

If you need assistance for visual impairment, please contact SDCB. We have many programs that can help you complete day-to-day tasks.
