Announcing WebSound:
"A generic Web sonification tool and its application to a Web browser
for blind and visually impaired computer users..."

Maybe you have heard about us during conferences like ICAD, CHI, HCI
or
DL.

We are happy to announce you that a free download version of WebSound
is
now available
at :
http://websound.unige.ch/

Introduction:
---------------

WebSound is an extended visual WWW browser for visually impaired and
blind computer users.
In conjunction with a graphic tablet or a touch sensitive screen,
blind
users can perform an "audio-haptic exploration" of an HTML document in
order to
understand not only its content but also its 2D visual information
(i.e
the document
layout).

WebSound is the ideal solution for:

     Web browser for blind users
     Non-visual navigation
     HCI research
     Web sonification
     Advanced multimedia development
