Speaking Out for the Blind Episode 353- Viewfinders and their Lenses

Speaking Out for the Blind

The website mentalfloss.com reports that Virginia is the first State to receive colorblind-friendly viewfinders. The viewfinders are at all of Virginia’s forty-five State parks. Natural Tunnel State Park, in Duffield, Virginia, was the first to add the viewfinders in 2023. The viewfinders got quite the reception. So the viewfinders were installed at the rest of Virginia’s State parks. Enchroma Vice President of Communications and Partnerships Kent Streeb and Virginia State Parks Director Dr. Melissa Baker are here with us. They’re going to explain how the viewfinders and their lenses are helping color blind visitors enjoy the best of Virginia’s State parks.
