Technical Vision, Inc. is an early-stage product development company that specializes in the design and manufacture of electronic mobility aids that facilitate safe and independent travel for individuals with vision loss and physical disabilities.
Technical Vision, in partnership with the Salus University College of Education and Rehabilitation, is developing practical, affordable and easy-to-use mobility aids to assist users with vision impairments such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa and diabetic retinopathy to carry out everyday activities in and outside of the home with greater confidence and independence.
Technical Vision’s assistive devices help persons with vision loss to detect and avoid obstacles that place them at risk of tripping or falling. Low vision profoundly affects the ability to adjust to changes in lighting and glare that interfere with depth perception and contrast sensitivity, making it difficult or impossible to see ground-level obstacles such as stairs, curbs, broken sidewalks, ramps and shadows.
Technical Vision transforms ideas into products by working closely with low vision rehabilitation therapists, occupational therapists and orientation and mobility specialists who bring professional experience and insight into patient needs that the company applies to the design, testing and development of innovative and practical mobility aids.
