Enhance mobility, safety, and confidence for the Blind

Our Farmer Noah & Bandmaster Stevie systems help train the vision impaired to navigate.

They teach optimal use of non-visual cues in the environment so they may navigate within new environments safely and with more confidence. The Farmer Noah concept is available in children’s and adult versions (Bandmaster Stevie).

Farmer Noah Info
The image is a colorful cartoon image of a boy farmer who is blind and a girl farmer who is in a wheelchair. They are in the midst of a farm yard scene with several farm animals in view - and two sets of eyes peeking out from the barn. In the distance is an ark, like the ark of Noah, the historic biblical character.

Farmer Noah & Bandmaster Stevie

A System for Teaching Cane Technique, Development of Spatial Awareness and how to Master One’s Environment.

Train for:

  • Maximum exploitation of non-visual cues available in environments.
  • Improved mobility and body orientation discipline.
  • Farmer Noah is for young people, Bandmaster Stevie is for adults.

cognitive acuity tracking system.

Cognitive Acuity Tracking System

CATS is a research instrument designed to collect quantitative metrics associated with brain health and mental acuity.

Through tracking the results of simple memory games and cognitive exercises the CATS will collect indicators relevant to:

  • Short Term Memory.
  • Audio-Visual Pattern Recognition.
  • Analytical Processing.
  • Attention Span.

Finally, the paper test grid is obsolete. Introducing the dxdt quantitative retina test grid software to measure, train, and monitor.

Retina Test Grid

Our Retina Test Grid empowers patients to assess & monitor their retina health.

With our technology, they can anticipate trends and train to use their remaining vision capability more effectively.

We have exciting new addons for the Retina Test Grid:

  • Patients can now identify blind spots against a dynamic and fine detail backgrounds.
  • Binocular vision analyzer.
  • Help train patients to use healthy areas of retinae more consistently.

BVITS

The Blind and Visually Impaired Target (or Tagging) System (BVITS) is our multi-function enabler for BVI individuals. It enables:

  • The games and sports of cornhole, archery. disc golf, marksmanship, scavenger hunts and squirt gun battles.
  • Environment tagging system that allows BVI individuals to find key locations within a facility by following the directions given by machine-readable tags.
  • A conference attendee incentive system to help drive attendees to conference exhibit booths.
  • The system also supports a means to set-up invisible orientation and mobility courses that can be used to challenge, test or quantify a person’s ability to navigate with precision within a test area based on non-visual cues in the environment and their cognitive O&M skills.
