Visually impaired workplaces
Everyone is different - these words apply particularly to the visually impaired.
There are many types of visual impairment. Regardless of the diagnosis, almost everyone experiences their visual impairment differently. There are many different effects on orientation and mobility. The working methods of the visually impaired and the limits of their work opportunities and their capabilities cannot be compared with one another.
The right tool means new life prospects and success in everyday life, school, studies and work.
For this reason, visually impaired people should never do without particularly good advice regarding the individual adjustment of the required aids.
Magnification software
In order to be able to use a computer sensibly, many visually impaired people need special enlargement programs in order to display screen contents according to their requirements.
Document reading systems
Camera systems are always used when optical aids are no longer sufficient. The object to be viewed is projected onto a monitor via a camera, greatly enlarged.
Task lights
Eyesight and visual acuity are directly related to the light source used. In several studies with the visually impaired it was found that very good and correct lighting of the reading material leads to improved visual performance.
More auxiliary hardware
In addition to magnifying aids such as document reading cameras or optimal workplace lighting with floor lamps or table lamps, other aids are useful for easier data entry into the computer.
