A major exhibition highlighting the technology, support and services available to people living with sight loss is set to tour Norfolk later this month.
VisionZone 2024 will enable vision-impaired people in the county to try a range of technology for themselves, as well as find out more about the activities and services provided by the sight loss charity Vision Norfolk.
Three of the country’s leading suppliers of assistive technology, Optelec, Synapptic, and Cobolt Systems, will be demonstrating a huge range of technology designed to help these people live independent lives.
The event will be taking place on Wednesday, May 22, from 10am-2pm at the charity’s Lynn hub at Unit 3, Dundee Court, Hamburg Way.
Andrew Morter, Vision Norfolk chief executive, said: “These events are a great opportunity for people living with sight loss to bring themselves up to speed with the latest technology which has been developed to help them live independent lives, as well as find out more about the support and services that Vision Norfolk offers.
“The pace of technological advance in assistive technologies has been breathtaking in recent years, and there are a plethora of new gadgets, machines, and technologies which can really change the lives of vision impaired people.
“We are delighted to be joined by three of the country’s top assistive technology companies, who will each be bringing experts who can demonstrate their products and help people understand how they can use them in their everyday lives.”
Entry to the events is free and open both to vision-impaired people and family and friends of those living with sight loss who want to find out more.
No advance booking is necessary, and attendees can simply turn up at any time the exhibition is open.
