Description
COMPUTERS AND AIDS BASED ON MICRO-PROCESSING USED BY VISUALLY IMPAIRED HUNGARIANS At the beginning of the 1980s there were nine blind computer programmers in different computer centers in Hungary, where various computers (ICL, Simens, Honeywell) were in use. Some of the programmers relied on their memory from when they could see, sometimes calling on their colleagues for assistance. Five worked with a Hungarian-developed one-cell refreshable braille display connected to the normal display. This showed only one braille character, the character at the cursor of the normal display. The programmers could quickly go through material character by character or line by line with cursor movement keys and could check both texts and messages on the screen. The one-cell braille display was a highly usable tool and it gave its users the ability to work independently.
