Research and Innovation

The Archimedes Project: The Archimedes Project is not any specific project but a group of individuals committed to making information technology available to all people, regardless of abilities, needs, preferences, and culture.

Computer GRaphics Access for Blind people through a haptic virtual environment: The GRAB project has allowed the development of a new Haptic & Audio Virtual Environment to allow blind and visually impaired persons to have access to the three-dimensional graphic computer world through the senses of touch and hearing.

Mathematics Access

Mobile OCR, Face and Object Recognition for the Blind The main goal of The vOICe vision technology is to offer an equivalent of "raw" visual input to blind people, via complex visual sounds, thus leaving the recognition tasks to the human brain. However, complementary to that it would be useful to have options for automatic recognition through computer vision technology.

PubMed Central (PMC) is the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature.
