   - AFB Leadership Conference 2016 Highlights, by Janet Ingber
   <http://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=c676fb0293&e=0122cec033>

   The 2016 AFB Leadership Conference was held March 3-5 at the Crystal
   Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia . The conference included the
   AccessWorld Technology Summit, sessions for professionals in the blindness
   and low vision fields, plus an exhibit area. There was a broad selection of
   concurrent sessions, so it was easy to focus on one's area of interest.
   - The Orion TI-30XS MultiView Talking Scientific Calculator from Orbit
   Research and American Printing House for the Blind: Calculating the Value,
   by Bill Holton
   <http://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=1bb3a8b547&e=0122cec033>
   The Orion TI-30XS is aimed at upper elementary and middle school
   students. Likely as not, these students have not yet decided if they might
   wish to pursue a STEM career. However, having access to the same handheld
   calculators as their classmates can only help to broaden a sight-impaired
   student's horizons, options, and opportunities.
   - An Introduction to the Apple Watch, by Janet Ingber
   <http://afb.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=0350469250&e=0122cec033>

   Apple began selling the long-awaited Apple Watch in May 2015. As with
   other Apple products, the watch is very accessible for VoiceOver users and
   has some good options for users with low vision.
   - An Overview of NVDA Remote Access, a Free Add-on for the Non Visual
   Desktop Access, by Aaron Preece
   <http://afb.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=80a5e61f3e&e=0122cec033>
   The NVDA Remote Access add-on was very simple to set up and use and the
   experience of controlling another computer was smooth. There are many
   possible uses for this add-on and its inclusion in the pool of available
   NVDA add-ons could significantly increase the usefulness of NVDA.
   - Repairing or Replacing the Optic Nerve: New Frontiers in Vision
   Technology Research, by Bill Holton
   <http://afb.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=5fa35cca82&e=0122cec033>

   In this article we will describe two recent research breakthroughs?one
   that shows the potential to help regenerate damaged optic nerves, and the
   second, a system called Gennaris, that may produce vision without the optic
   nerve, or even the eye itself.
   - Audio Game Review: A Blind Legend from DOWiNO and France Culture, by
   Jamie Pauls
   <http://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=dfca9ed061&e=0122cec033>

   A Blind Legend is an audio game for iOS and Android platforms that
   features an interesting plot, high-quality audio and voice acting, and a
   well-designed user interface. There are some areas of the game that need
   work, most notably the awkward translations from French to English. Also, I
   experienced a few times when I wasn't able to select menu items properly in
   the game, and was forced to restart before I could continue on.
