Announcing Everyday Braille Solutions

We have recently introduced our Everyday Braille Solutions. These braille packages include everything from the printer, paper, translation software, and even customized on-site training! The on-site trainings are perfect for any organization because a ViewPlus expert visits your site and custom-tailors the workshop to teach your organization how to make braille graphics and documents fast and easy.

There are four different packages. The first is the "Beginning Braille Aid," and is specific for teachers or employers who have a new blind employee or student. The next package, "Math Made Simple," is for math teachers who need to produce materials in an accessible format. The third package, "Inclusive Tactile Learning," includes the IVEO Hands-on Learning System to make any tactile graphic accessible through touch, sound, and sight. Finally, "Office Production Assistant," provides options for any production job - whether you need double-sided braille, ink and braille only, or both!

The variety of packages offered by ViewPlus will ensure that every braille need is met. To find out everything that is included in each package visit the ViewPlus website!

CSUN 2009

We recently attended CSUN at the LAX Marriot this March. Crowds swarmed the booth to see what new and exciting products we had this year. Our "Make it a Double" campaign continued to promote the new line of Elite and Premier embossers capable of double-sided printing in one pass.
In addition we were showing the prototype for the re-designed desktop series. With a new sleek design, USB connection, and new braille dot, the new model was a huge hit! While this new design has not been officially released yet, it will be in the very near future.

Lastly, the prominent Emprint SpotDot was on display. This embosser, capable of both ink and braille, makes using the IVEO Hands on Learning System a breeze! If you attended CSUN and were not able to stop by the booth, check out the ViewPlus website for all the latest information; you did however miss out on our great new tradeshow bags – they are reusable.

Ziezo 2009

We recently attended Ziezo in Houten, Netherlands February 5th – 7th. Jeff Gardner and Kayleen Hagan, from the US office, as well as Dorine in 't Veld and Christian Herden, from the EU office, represented the company. This year the show was a combined effort between ViewPlus and our Dutch dealers Babbage and Thinkable.


In attendance were many end-users of low vision or blindness equipment, as well as educators and other professionals. The show was a great success for ViewPlus as the Dutch market continues to be very fond of the ink and braille technology made possible with Tiger embossers.

ATIA 2009: Make It A Double

We recently attended the 2009 ATIA conference at the Caribe Royal All Suites Hotel and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The Accessible Technology Industry Association's goal is to serve as the collective voice of the assistive technology industry so that the best products and services are delivered to people with disabilities. ViewPlus was a proud sponsor and delighted to assist in working toward a common goal. This year we featured the new Elite and Premier braille embossers with our "Make It A Double" campaign and party. These embossers produce perfectly spaced interpoint (double-sided) braille on one page and are great for high-volume production style jobs. To find out more about this product line visit theViewPlus products webpage.

Not only did we show the new Elite and Premier embossers, we made our first public appearance with our new sleek and appealing logo. We have a different look, but still the same great products to go along with it! Overall, ATIA was a huge success and we look forward to attending next year!

Announcing Our New Logo

We recently unveiled our new logo. The logo made its first appearance early 2009 and will be seen sprouting up in more places very soon. There is a preview of it below. Even though we have changed the logo, we are still offering the same great products and braille translation software, all Powered by Tiger®. Check the ViewPlus website for a list of up-coming shows where you can check it out in person.

IVEO Math Tutor

IVEO Hands-On Learning is now math compatible! With the IVEO Math Tutor students can now practice their math skills. Many blind students currently learn Nemeth math, but now they have the ability to learn math spatially, the same way as sighted users. The IVEO Math Tutor is not an update to the current software, but instead its own program. It is still in testing and has therefore been released as a beta version. ViewPlus is currently seeking beta test users. If you are interested, visit www.iveo.org to find out all the details of this new and exciting program. With the IVEO Math Tutor teaching spatial math is now literally at your student's fingertips!

If you are not familiar with IVEO, ViewPlus has a great demo video. Check it out!

Tifloinnova 2008

We recently attended Tifloinnova 2008 in Madrid, Spain. The show had a great turnout and was sponsored by ONCE. For those of you who are not familiar with ONCE, they are a non-profit corporate organization that focuses its activities on the improvement of the quality of life of people with blindness or severe visual impairment from all over Spain.

Dorine in 'T Veld and Steve Young were the representatives that attended the show. There was a large turnout at the booth and many were impressed with the Emprint SpotDot braille embosser Powered by Tiger. In addition the IVEO Hands-On Learning System impressed students of all age levels. According to Dorine and Steve, Madrid is a beautiful city with great nightlife and they hope to return soon!
