Talking Vision is Vision Australia's national radio program on blindness and low vision.
In the program for the week of June 17, we hear from another recognised in the Queen’s Birthday honours for work which has made a difference for people with vision and hearing loss and we have more about an Australian quest for bionic vision. In the first part of the program the man who established the first computerised braille production system in Australia and went on to lead the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children for 26 years, reflects on his career and the influences that have shaped progress. Then, the Director of the Monash Vision Group, explains the work of his consortium as they strive to bypass the non functioning eye to equip the brain with remarkable technology.
Participants this week are:
- John Berryman AM, former Chief Executive of the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children;
- Professor Arthur Lowery, Director of the Monash Vision Group.
