Hello. I am Gerhard Weber and teach computer science courses at the Harz University in Germany. I have done a Ph.D. in computer science with a large tactile display in 1989 in Stuttgart, Germany. For a year I taught introductory courses on computer literacy at the Overbrook School for the Blind in Philadelphia using braille and speech in class. In project GUIB I have helped to create a screen reader for MS Windows (now named WinDOTS from Papenmeier) and the X Window system. Until 96 I have managed the EU MATHS project to create a SGML based maths workstation with braille andspeech. At the moment I am involved in another EU project on printing tactile graphics as part of a fax system for the blind. My main concerns in joining this group are the "repair" of graphics and of mathematics.
