Lego for the Blind | Matthew Shifrin | TEDxSuffolkUniversity

Matthew Shifrin is working on a cutting edge device that makes virtual reality accessible for blind people. Shifrin, who is blind since birth, attributes his ability to innovate to one thing. Watch this short, charming talk, to understand what has been like for him to stay creative since he was thirteen. Matthew works hard to deliver exciting and ejoyable experiences to blind people in different creative ways. His goal is for every blind person to build a mini LEGO world and make the impossible possible. He also began a project with an engineer from the MIT Media Lab which recently won the MIT $15K Creative Arts Competition. This project creates Virtual-reality comics for the blind using 3D sound, and a head-mounted array of spinning gyroscopes which simulate motions such as flipping and flying. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
