Foxy Labels and Foxy Tags
The Foxy Reader comes with waterproof adhesive labels and adhesive tags that can be attached to any object. The tags are especially suitable for loops on clothes. Once attached, you can speak your desired product information, which is then stored in the Foxy-Reader. The labels and tags have tactile markings, making them easy to recognize.
Foxy Cards
The Foxy Reader comes with a deck of specialty playing cards for the blind and visually impaired. The cards are printed on both sides with small, area-wide codes that cannot be seen visually. However, the Foxy Reader can recognize them and communicate the card information to the player via earphones. This enables the blind person to play together with sighted friends and acquaintances.
