You Don't Look Blind Peer-Based Support Group

Lumivision VR Headset

Lumivision is a California‑based company that’s created a VR headset designed for people with low vision. What really makes it stand out is that it uses your own smartphone as the processor and camera, so the headset gets better as your phone does. This month, I’m chatting with Zarioa and Prescott from LumiVision to hear more about this clever and genuinely exciting device.   Visit the Lumivision VR website at www.lumivisionvr.com [http://www.lumivisionvr.com] .

Support is just as important as technology.  That is something that is sometimes overlooked when it comes to people dealing with vision loss.  “You Don’t Look Blind” is an online peer support group dedicated to helping people with vision loss, along with sighted caregivers, a place to get that support.  What started out as a local support group in Denver, CO, is now an international support group with over 1,700 members on their Facebook page.  Join me this month as I talk with Rob and Jamie about this amazing peer-based support group.
