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

  1. 2010

    PORTÁCTIL

    Instituto Iracema presents the Brazilian Ministry of Education with the PORTÁCTIL proposal, a platform for the literacy and digital inclusion of blind children. Approved, it is developed with FNDE funding.

  2. 2010—2024

    Research line at IFCE

    The research continues at the Applied Research and Automation Development Laboratory of IFCE, producing and testing braille devices in real use by blind students.

  3. 2024

    First room in a public school

    The first Sala Braille opens at EEF Instituto dos Cegos, in Fortaleza, in partnership with the Ceará State Department of Education. It remains in use.

  4. 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.

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.
