Technology Innovator Awards 2020

success for PCT continues to come. Innovation and technological development should always be used to enhance people’s lives, and that is exactly what PCT has done. Now, technology has never been so accessible for those living with a visual impairment. Company: PCT Co. Ltd Contact: Jungil Jung Website: http://www.powerct.kr/ Jun20127 Most Innovative Assistive Technology Device Developer 2020 One of the most fantastic things that technological innovation and advancement has brought, is the opportunity for those living with impairments to feel more included in society. Where once, technology was reserved for the most elite in society, now more people than ever can access it. One of the companies driving this accessibility and innovation forward is PCT Co. Ltd, a South Korean organisation whose study of assistive technology has produced a truly game-changing device for those living with visual impairments. We take a closer look to find out more. Having become experts in the field of assistive technology devices for the blind over the course of the last thirteen years, the team at PCT is easily amongst the most confident and knowledgeable firms in the world when it comes to technological development for the visually impaired. Refining its knowledge and technologies for more than a decade, it has unveiled its flagship product, the Tactile PRO. Fulfilling the role of the world’s first tablet PC for those living with visual impairments of all levels, the Tactile PRO is a remarkable feat of technological innovation and development, and one that should be celebrated for its accessibility for the blind community. Individuals using the Tactile PRO who are living with visual impairments can take full advantage of a wide variety of content in accessible ways, such as the Internet, document editing, games, and education tools. The Tactile PRO also utilises PCT’s own App Store, and can receive unlimited applications and educational materials and tools through that. Users can download various things to help make their lives even easier, and the technology within their palms even before accessible than ever before. This is the realisation of the vision that formed PCT, as it sought to create a world of warm information that can provide information to the blind around the world without discrimination based on technological innovation for the blind. How it works is this; the Tactile PRO tablet PC prints Braille and Braille drawings in real time, enabling the users to feel their way across what would be a regular screen for those without a visual impairment. Using its tactile display, various applications such as document editing, the Internet, and a plethora of games can print their images via Braille into the tablet PC. Complete with input and output device compatibility, there is no telling just how useful this latest innovation could be for visually impaired people all over the world. Crucial to the success of the Tactile PRO and PCT, it is the only tablet PC that can print multiple lines of Braille and Braille pictures. Other products on the market may only be able to print one line, but the Tactile PRO pushes the boundaries of what is possible, with SW technology to operate it along with multi-array braille HW production technology that has not been resolve for the past two decades. With Tactile PRO being the world’s first tablet PC for the visually impaired, PCT could rest there. Yet, the team are more determined than ever to continue to develop and bring to market increasingly accessible technologies for those living with some sort of visual impairment. Following its recognition at the 2019 World IT Show, and accolades including the Science, Information, and Communication Minister Award in South Korea and the 2020 CES Innovation Award in the United States, the Technology Innovator Awards 2020
