The company
An engineering company born out of a research line
INOVAeye is a technology company based in Fortaleza, Brazil, and a spin-off of Instituto Iracema de Pesquisa e Inovação. It does engineering under contract — from hardware to cloud — and develops its own assistive technology products.
Timeline
From the bench to the contract

Today
INOVAeye
The company runs both practices: the Sala Braille product, sold to schools and school networks, and engineering under contract for industry, companies and R&D programmes.
Facilities
Where the work happens
INOVAeye is a partner of Instituto Iracema de Pesquisa e Inovação and works out of its facilities in Fortaleza, Brazil — the same laboratories where the Sala Braille technology was developed.
Hardware laboratory
SMD production
Mechanical prototyping
Embedded systems
Software development
Demonstration room
The Sala Braille line assembled and running, open to visits from schools and school networks.
The laboratories belong to Instituto Iracema, a non-profit association founded in 2012 by professors of IFCE. The accreditations, agreements and market partners listed on the Institute's site belong to the Institute, not to INOVAeye.

Who does the work
A senior core with laboratory backing
INOVAeye works with a small, senior core: the project is led by the people with their hands on the code and on the bench, backed by the laboratory facilities of Instituto Iracema and by specialists brought in per practice when the scope calls for it. The core engineering is not outsourced.
Director
Bruno Martins
Designs the application hardware and firmware, ships the backend, delivers the interface, and takes the prototype to its final physical form through custom modelling and digital fabrication.
