I had the great privilege and fun of hosting my friends Cheiko-sanand Hiro-san in our Munich Lab today.

Chieko-san has been blind since she was a teen ager and leads IBM’s daptive technology research efforts. Take a look at her TED Talk   to get an idea of the amazing thigns she does.

 

Hiro-san works with CHiko-san and often travels with her both  as a research partern and guide. He’s also an old freind of mine..

 

We had about 70 folks show up for the talk. thats standing room only..

 

 

My friend Michael borght over soem of his 3D printed data reprenstations to ‘show’ to Chiko

 

I printed up a small model of our building to give her. It was fun showing her where we’d been in the building using the physical model
