Reem, a former student with a vision disability, described the transformative impact of this
technology. “The first time I used one of these machines, it felt like a wonder. It’s a game changer for
students who cannot see,” said Reem. After graduating, she now volunteers at the university,
teaching Braille to students with vision impairments.

Reem highlighted another remarkable tool that helps students in practical education. “We have a
machine that supports practical studies, such as architecture. It scans layouts and embosses
them, allowing students with vision disabilities to understand floor plans through touch. Another
device, the ‘Angel Eye,’ reads out text in both Arabic and English, making it easier to understand
content,” said Reem.
