This article discusses current and future Information Technology and Telematics and their applications for visually impaired and deafblind people in Sweden. It considers systems for stop announcements on buses and trams and queuing systems in shops and banks. The use of text-telephones with information transfer centres for people who are deaf or deafblind, as well as methods used to make daily newspapers available to visually impaired people are reviewed. The involvement of disabled persons in the use of data bases and home terminals is also discussed. Ideas for subtitles for films, simultaneous translation of interviews and speeches, and picture communication are presented. Finally, some thoughts about future possibilities are outlined.
