The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
(NLS) and the Industrial Designers of America (IDSA) are challenging student
designers to create the next generation of digital talking book playback
machines.  The student design competition will begin January 1, 2002, and
awards will be made during the national conference of IDSA in July 2002.
The goal is to design a unique product that will help thousands of people
who are visually impaired or disabled enjoy books and magazines.  A million
new machines will be produced in the first 10 years after introduction.  The
digital playback machines will be specifically tailored for people with
disabilities, and must adhere to the principles of universal design.  For
more competition details, visit www.idsa.org.
