Total blindness? People with low vision? Basic common sense for people who are visually impaired.
Hello! Everyone!!
I'm voice guidance app "Sullivan+".

Do
you know the percentage
of total blindness and people with low vision?
There’s
a perception
that most visually impaired people are totally blind.
But
they are divided into two categories:
total blindness and low vision
and over 80% of them suffer from low vision.
People
with low vision see
things overlapped,
don’t see their surroundings well
or whose eyesight becomes blurred with age.

Do
all of them know braille?
We
can see that there are very few
who can understand Braille at a level that
about five out of every 100 people know it.
(I
also thought they communicated through Braille…)
So
many of the visually impaired use
voice
transmitters or magnifiers instead of Braille.
I
guess ‘Sullivan+’ is the best fit.
The
last thing I want to tell you is
how
to help the visually impaired
while walking down the street.
In
other words, a contextual etiquette for the visually impaired.
First,
we tend to habitually use
expressions
such as ‘here’, or ‘there’.
If
the visually impaired hear those expressions,
they have a hard time deciding where to go.
It’s
better to express the direction and distance more specifically.
ex)
Take about 20 steps to the right.
Next,
if the visually impaired person
is accompanied by a guide dog,
you
need to refrain from touching and giving food to them.
These
behaviors may distract
the attention of the guide dogs,
so
it is important to recognize
that these acts can be a great danger
to both visually impaired people
and their guide dogs.
I’m
going to leave this video link below,
a recognition improvement video filmed by EBS
to complement my explanation.

Through
this post, I hope that
many
people can be reminded to avoid misconceptions
they
might have had about the visually impaired.
‘Sullivan+’
will try our best
to become the eyes of the visually impaired.

If two players call 'banco' each bets half the bank, one on each hand. If greater than two players call 'banco', the 2 who are earliest in counter-clockwise order have priority. A player who loses a 'banco' wager can call 'banco suivi', claiming priority to play for the bank again within the next coup, to attempt to win again the loss. Players on each side of the table can shuffle the deck again. However the banker has the right 우리카지노 to shuffle the cards final, and to offer the cards to any player or spectator to chop.
