02
Complete
The full ecosystem of devices, app and teacher training, spanning classroom, library and computer lab.
03
Custom
For schools and school networks with larger demand — a configuration tailored to the number of students and the available facilities.
Where it comes from
From a pitch to the Ministry of Education to a product in a public school
01
In 2010, Instituto Iracema presented the Brazilian Ministry of Education with a proposal for PORTÁCTIL, a platform for the literacy and digital inclusion of blind children. The project was approved and developed with FNDE funding.
02
That gave rise to a continuous assistive technology research line at the Applied Research and Automation Development Laboratory of IFCE, which produced and tested devices in real use by blind students.
03
INOVAeye is the company that turned that research into a product: devices manufactured at scale, an app, teacher training and ongoing support, offered today to schools and school networks across Brazil.
