Academic Publishing in Europe

The Future is near: Universally Usable Mainstream on-Line Publishing – is the topic that was presented by the President of ViewPlus Technologies – John Gardner and Director of Journal Information Systems of the American Physical Society – Robert Kelly. They presented IVEO® Hands-on-Learning-System. This system allows the combination of touch, sound and vision. John Gardner and Robert Kelly explained that IVEO® makes images like graphs or diagrams accessible to blind people. This system also reads values of data points and labels when you touch them. They hope it would be very useful system for visually handicapped people because it makes them to feel the image after printing it with an embossing printer or via a tactile touchpad.
