>Sendero Group, announces pioneering developments
>
>DAVIS, CA, (March 16, 2004) - World leader in GPS for the blind, Sendero 
>Group LLC, is demonstrating new GPS and Wayfinding developments at the 
>2004 CSUN conference held at the LAX Marriott, March 17-20 in Los Angeles 
>California.
>
>Innovative developments
>1.      Indoor Navigation
>2.      New version of BrailleNote GPS
>3.      New GPS learning and teaching tools
>
>1. Leading the Way Indoors
>
>Sendero Group has long recognized the importance of extending the
>accessible GPS navigation it has developed outdoors to the indoor
>environment and has just begun testing with one of the first working
>prototypes of a small-integrated GPS and motion-sensing unit. Sendero has
>been leading a consortium of U.S. researchers as part of a 2.25 mm
>five-year project funded by the National Institute on Disability and
>Rehabilitation Research to test various devices and methods for navigation
>by blind people. Indoor navigation is an important aspect of this
>wayfinding research.
>
>  From the Wall Street Journal: "As pumped up as I am about outdoor
>navigation, what happens when I get to the mall? How do I find the stores I
>want inside," says Mike May. The technology isn't perfect, but even
>moderately accurate position information indoors is better for blind people
>than no information at all, says Sendero's
>May. "It gets you in the vicinity. It's not meant to turn you into a robot,"
>
>Sendero will be showing this technology in private demonstrations at CSUN.
>BrailleNote GPS uses the latest GPS Technology and detailed street maps
>along with the BrailleNote, a Personal Data Assistant for blind and
>visually impaired individuals to deliver important navigational
>information, such as directions, street names, and points of interest
>through a Braille display or speech output.  Sendero Group's President,
>Mike May and Charles LaPierre CTO, have been working on this technology
>since 1994. May says, "Accessible location information greatly increases
>independent travel for me and blind people worldwide and the Sendero Group
>was formed to make this happen."
>2. A New BrailleNote GPS version is coming!
>The success of BrailleNote GPS, since its release in September 2003, has
>generated many happy as well as demanding users. Now that they have this
>location technology, these users are requesting even more functionality
>such as improved points of interest, address searching and a virtual
>exploration mode. Mike and Charles will be showing off the features
>implemented so far in an upcoming version as well as the new Earthmate GPS
>receiver. No date is set for the release of this new GPS version.
>3. New Educational Materials
>Sendero Group and De Witt and Associates are proud to announce GPS
>Courseware, A Teaching and Learning Tool. This is geared for teachers and
>O&M instructors. An Audio Tutorial is also now available for purchase on
>the SenderoGroup.com shopping cart.
>For more information
>
>Contact Mike May at the LAX Marriott March 17-19. Stop by the Pulse Data 
>HumanWare booth or ring the De Witt and Associates Suite in the Marriott.
