Please join Eone Time and the Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) for a night of conversation about inclusive design. The event is meant to address the challenges and opportunities in creating products that can be used by a multitude of users regardless of age, gender, or ability. Join us for a night of discussion lead by Hyungsoo Kim (Founder & CEO of Eone Time) about designing a wristwatch you can see and feel to tell the time.
The Bradley watch is named after Bradley Synder an ex navel officer, Bradley lost his eyesight in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2011. He went onto compete in and win gold and silver medals in swimming at the 2012 Paralympics in London.
For the visually impaired, The Bradley makes day-to-day life possible without drawing attention to their disability. For the sighted users, The Bradley offers a unique and discrete way of telling time whether you're in a business meeting, social luncheon, or dark theater.
This event is FREE and open to the public. To RSVP and for special accommodations please contact Willa Crolius at [email protected] or call (617) 259-1655
