\# Our vision for the project This project will result in a local assembly line and software development for the innovative 'Canute Console', a full-page refreshable Braille workstation which has been successfully developed to greatly increase blind peoples' opportunities for employment in the creative industries. We have the prototypes, we have the networks, now we want to start production in the UK with much more local and therefore reliable supply chains. \# Key objectives - Bring production of our existing and new products in-house, creating jobs. - Develop the software to integrate this digital Braille hardware into the creative development processes of the creative industries. - Stimulate business growth by kick-starting sponsored pilots in key industries. - Increase the economic opportunities for blind people. \# Details of innovation Our hardware that this project will be producing for the first time (Canute Console) is the only interactive and full-page Braille display and workstation for blind people in the world to date, giving blind software developers the same output as their sighted peers, opening up fields like spacial development (e.g. of layouts for virtual reality spaces).

\#我们对项目的愿景该项目将为创新的“Canute控制台”提供本地装配线和软件开发，这是一种整页可刷新的盲文工作站，已成功开发，大大增加了盲人在创意产业的就业机会。我们有了原型，我们有了网络，现在我们想在英国开始生产，有更多的本地和可靠的供应链。\#主要目标-将现有产品和新产品的生产引入国内，创造就业机会。-开发软件，将数字盲文硬件整合到创意产业的创意开发过程中。——在重点行业启动资助试点，刺激业务增长。——增加盲人的经济机会。该项目将首次生产的硬件（Canute Console）是迄今为止世界上唯一的互动性和全页盲文显示器和盲人工作站，为盲人软件开发人员提供与正常人相同的输出，开辟了空间开发（例如虚拟现实空间布局）等领域。
