Hi, my name is Lesley Wierenga and I am a senior
mechanical engineering
student at UNR. For my senior design project, I
am attempting to design and
build a GPS system for the blind that would allow
the user to input a
desired destination through a braille keypad and
then receive audio commands on how to get to a
specific building. I am looking for feedback on
the feasibility
and usefulness of a product such as this. Any
assistance you can provide is
greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Lesley Wierenga
