Hi, All,

This is my first time posting to this forum.

Does anyone know of any dealers/suppliers of Refreshable Braille Displays in NYC? I'd like to see demos and get hands-on experiences on new products such as VarioUltra. Another alternative is a conference where multiple manufacturers showing off their products.

I've been searching on the web, and haven't found anything in or near NYC. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Charles

I think CTech services NYC, they service Long island and sell a lot of different products. I don't officially endorse any one vendor, but they are the only one I knoe of in New York that does different products by different companies.

Thank you all for your replies. I was hoping that, in a big city like NYC, there is a vendor with a showroom where we can go and see various products. I guess the market for refreshable braille displays is too specialized.

Perhaps the next best thing is to go to a show/conference for the blind.

Thank you again very much.

Hi, Maria,

Thank you very much for the info on CCVIP at CUNY. That's very useful. I'll look into it.

Best,
Charles
