Default Photo on Scientific American

I find my photos in use often enough now that it's no longer a big deal. But today I found one and am jumping with joy.

It's a photo of my daughter, who is legally blind, trying to navigate through sidewalk construction using her cane. Scientific American published it with an article about the development of virtual maps that will enable the blind to read maps through sound and touch. The maps will be developed using ordinary video cameras, too, instead of the current expensive specialty cameras (interesting news for the videographers among us).

Getting in Touch: Virtual Maps for the Blind: Scientific American

It's so exciting to see a photo of my daughter on a major magazine's website AND learn about technological breakthroughs for the visually impaired at the same time.

:-D
