PropUp releases its new iPad stand

ZVRS has added iPod touch support to its mobile app for connecting hearing-impared users with others, while PropUp has announced the launch of a new iPad stand

A new mobile application, which allows those who are hard of hearing to make video calls through the iPod Touch has been released. ZVRS uses the video camera found in the latest iPod Touch models to establish a video link between deaf and hearing callers. The feed is sent through a video relay service (VRS), which places an interpreter in the middle of the call who translates back and forth between the two participants. ZVRS has been built around Apple's FaceTime software and was designed to extend FaceTimes capabilities beyond enabling communication between two people using sign language. The service carries no additional fees, and allows calls to be placed whenever a Wi-Fi network is present.
