   Thriving in the Information Age 
Technology in Focus1994

Technology in Focus (TIF) is a computer exhibition being conducted in
Sydney by Royal Blind Society (RBS) on the 18th , 19th and 20th of
August 1994.  Technology in Focus is an ideal time for visitors to gain
hands-on information on how technology and equipment can increase blind
and vision impaired people's  independence, efficiency and confidence in
work, study and leisure situations.  Technology and computers can be of
benefit to people of all ages and degrees of vision loss.  TIF also
show-cases some of the most advanced computer developments including
speech recognition, high quality speech synthesis and optical character
recognition systems as well as Speech access to graphic User Interfaces
like OS/2, Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh.

The major Australian adaptive technology suppliers will all be there and
a variety of RBS services will also be on display.  In addition the
Library will be open for exchange of books and the Equipment Resource
Centre will be open with a range of products and aids  for sale and
demonstration.

Tours of our Braille and Talking Book Library as well as our
Transcription Production section will also be conducted.

TIF runs from Thursday the 18th to Saturday the 20th of August 1994 and
will be open from 10am until 5pm on Thursday and Friday and 10am to 3pm
on Saturday.  TIF will be held at Royal Blind Society, 4 Mitchell
Street, Enfield.  Buses will be running from Strathfield and Burwood
stations on a regular basis (see timetable below)

Some of the things you will find at TIF include: portable note-takers,
word processors, reading machines, Closed Circuit TV's, magnifiers,
