Simulation Package DVD

VINE has produced a DVD that is a unique introduction to those who seek an awareness and understanding of some of the many forms of visual impairment which affect the registered blind and partially sighted. The DVD carries subtitles and BSL signing for the hard of hearing. It is intended for use by professionals, carers, friends and relatives.

The DVD has been created using special optical adaptations to the video camera lenses to simulate what the visually impaired person actually sees when affected by a range of conditions. The simulations also demonstrate the difficulties which these visual impairments can create for everyday living.

The DVD demonstrates the VINE Simulation Package which has been specially developed to enable those with normal sight to experience a wide range of visual impairments.

The DVD and the VINE Simulation Package have been developed by VINE to:
a) give professionals in the field of visual impairment the opportunity to acquire new skills and to create new and improved training programmes.
b) to teach those with impaired vision how to utilise their remaining vision to maximum effect.
