Jorgen dropped by with a link to this article at Crunchgear about an Intel eBook Reader for the visually impaired.
I agree, at $1,500 it’s jumping into the eBook Revolution with a high price, but the device offers a unique approach to eBooks and reading for the over 50 million people in the U.S. who have sight problems.
This machine comes with a 5 Megapixel camera that can scan whole pages of books or other printed material (e.g. menus) and then display the information as size-adjustable text or audio playback.
Check out the article. There’s a detailed instruction video too. You’ve got to love the way these technologies are being mixed together, yah? (I know it’s expensive, but tech always arrives on the market over-priced.)
