Something cool that is not happening in London for once!

I love this, it's so heartening to see engineering students working on something that's actually about disabled inclusion rather than disability dongles like "what if your white cane needed an app."

Lancaster engineers enable people with sight loss to “touch and see” museum exhibits

Happily, I have a connection to Lancaster that I can exploit to see friends as well as go see this! I'm really interested in the "haptic stand," as well as the lithophanes (first time I've heard of those!).

This is very cool (and yay for non-London-centricity!) Also, thank you for introducing me to the term “disability dongle”.

It's an incredibly useful term, that thing I've linked there is long but I just love it, it has clarified my thinking around this a lot.
