Brown Special - PC Assistive Technologies
The Brown Special consists of:
- 27" curved touchscreen monitor
- Monster 2 High contrast keyboard with large key and large fonts
- Document camera with 4K resolution sensor
The hardware is compatible with PCs running Win10 or Win11.
The monitor provides QHD (2560 x 1440 resolution) with a 1500R curved surface, which is ideal for low-vision viewers who depend on peripheral vision because it brings the edges of the screen closer, reducing the need for eye movement and making text/images more consistently readable and comfortable across the entire display, reducing strain compared to flatter screens. The 1500R curve better mimics the natural human eye's focus, creating uniform viewing angles, which is crucial for clarity and minimizing fatigue for users with vision impairments.
The Monster 2 keyboard is an accessibility keyboard featuring large, white on black high-contrast keys for users with visual impairments. It reduces eye strain and aids key identification. It is particularly suited for users who use the "hunt-and-peck" typing method.
