| For legally blind students, it's hard to switch focus between the notebook and the board. A team of students built a device to make it easier, using a video camera and a tablet PC--a feat which won them top prize in the U.S. finals of Microsoft's Imagine Cup. Team leader David Hayden, legally blind himself, discusses the invention. |
