Implementation
by gautam on August 20, 2007

Besides helping out the blind the system is also being tested as an occupational aid for selecting scented massage oil for the clients. The system has three major RFID function buttons where the first one is used for recording descriptions, second one is used for playing back the recording and the third one is used for stopping the playback. One just needs to hold the handheld within a few centimeters of the object tag to hear the recording. The system also doubles up as an entertainment device where one can tune into FM radio and listen to MP3 songs plus keep a digital notebook of reminders, observances and lists. Overall it's a useful device aimed at offering independence to visually challenged people. It is expected to retail in US for $500.
