CES 2008: Viable's video phone for deaf and hard of hearing
One of the more interesting products on show at CES Unveiled this afternoon was Viable’s video phone aimed at the deaf and hard of hearing amongst us.
The newly-established company’s put a lot of time and money into developing the phone, which is completely portable and wireless. With a 10.2″ touch screen, the unit has a USB port, audio and video inputs and outputs and the usual visual and audio alerts you’d expect for high quality two-way video conferences. At 30fps, it’s not too shabby.
What’s fascinating is the phone was developed by deaf people, for deaf people. Even the man on the stand telling me about it was deaf himself, and using sign language, communicated via a translator.

WOW … you mean Deaf people can actually accomplish things? “What’s fascinating is the phone was developed by deaf people, for deaf people.” Are you aware that Bell was trying to invent a device to communicate with his deaf wife and ACCIDENTLY devoloped the telephone?
Guess you don’t have many Deaf friends, or you would know tht there isn’t much difference between Hearing and Deaf, accept language – oh, and an entire Deaf Culture that has thrived for generations….
