Fred Leung has asked:
> We need info on the International Standards Organization Working
> Group on access of the visually disabled.
ISO Technical Committee TC 173 is Technical systems and aids for disabled or
handicapped persons.
Subcommitte 4, SC 4 is Aids and Adaptations for Communications
Within the Working Groups of SC4 are, among others:
WG2 Braille, Tactile Reading and Writing
WG6 Acoustic and tactile signals that indicate the status of traffic lights
WG7 Provisions and means for orientation of visually impaired pedestrians
The best person to contact for further information about the work of SC4 which
is
probably of most interest to this list is the Chairman:
Dr Wolfgang Zagler
Technical University of Vienna
Gusshausstrasse 27/359/1B
A-1040 Vienna, Austria
Email: zw@fortec.tuwien.AC.AT
By a coincidence (or is this the start of Fred's posting?) SC4 is meeting next
week
in Vienna (14 and 15 June). There will also be a meeting of WG2 at the same
place
on 13 and 14 June to discuss the ISO Committee Draft ISO/CD 11548 8-dot Braille
graphic characters.
