In a week the Ukrainian team - Fenestra will participate in Imagine Cup World Final Competition.

We will present our project Fenestra. Its purpose is to help people with visual disabilities to study on equal terms with normally sighted people. We have developed special software modules that works together with standard devices (Web Cameras, Microphone, Fingertip Reader, etc) allowing such category of people naturally use majority of features of MS Windows & Applications. Moreover, we have developed our own software for helping such people in on-line education - they can listen to the lectures, read on-line materials and pass tests. There are also an intellectual game for children which will help them to study some geographical facts.

Our solution will be presented in Seoul Korea during this event.

This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas (meaning “stone” in Aramaic) which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus (compare Matthew 16:18 and John 1:42). Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles during Jesus’s ministry and is considered by some to be the first pope.
This name was borne by Peter the Great, the czar of Russia who defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War in the 18th century. A famous fictional bearer is Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up in J. M. Barrie’s play.
