Configurations

Three starting points

The room is sized by the number of students and by the facilities the school already has.

01

Essential

For schools taking their first steps in braille literacy — a lean set of equipment that grows along with the school.

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.
