([pdf.marketpublishers.com](https://pdf.marketpublishers.com/globalinfo/global-assistive-technology-4-visually-impaired-gir.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- I found no announcements, schedules, or events that list Selvas BLV as a participant or attendee at an event named \u201cAT IA.\u201d  \n- I also didn\u2019t find current plans, press releases, or social media mentions indicating their involvement in \u201cAT IA\u201d for **2026**.\n\nIf you tell me exactly what \u201cAT IA\u201d refers to (for example, \u201cAssistive Technology Industry Association conference\u201d or something else), I can try to dig deeper to see if there\u2019s any insider info or up-coming schedule that mentions Selvas BLV. Would you like me to do that?"

        "content": "Here\u2019s what I found out about new braille tech at the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) Conference in 2026 \u2014 and whether the BrailleSense 7 will be there.\n\n---\n\n### What\u2019s confirmed or likely at ATIA 2026 (January 29-31, Orlando + virtually)  \nThe exhibitor list and schedule show that ATIA 2026 will include lots of sessions and exhibits focusing on **braille displays, notetakers**, and **accessibility devices** for people who are blind or have low vision. ([atia.org](https://www.atia.org/26conference/?utm_source=openai))\n\nOne of the highlighted educational sessions is **\u201cVHT-22: NERCVE Brailler 2.0,\u201d** which is a new technology for remote professional braille training. This session includes custom content sharing, STEM support features, and a quiz/drill-practice platform. ([pathlms.com](https://www.pathlms.com/atia/courses/113429?utm_source=openai))\n\nSo the conference is definitely showcasing new braille-related resources and tools.\n\n---\n\n### BrailleSense 7 \u2014 will it be there?\n\n**Yes**, evidence suggests that BrailleSense 7 *will* be featured:\n\n- The publisher Selvas BLV announced that BrailleSense 7 (in three models: 40-cell, 32-cell, and 20-cell) will be officially unveiled at the **CSUN 2026** Conference. ([braillists.org](https://www.braillists.org/uncategorised/introducing-the-new-smart-braille-tablet-series-braillesense-7/?utm_source=openai))  \n- During the 2026 ATIA Conference, Earle Harrison (Selvas BLV\u2019s National Account Manager) reportedly presented how **BrailleSense 7 works with the DOT Pad**, during showings of Braille Sense 6 with DOT Pad. That implies the new device was present in some capacity at ATIA. ([eastersealstech.com](https://www.eastersealstech.com/2026/03/30/monday-tech-tip-braille-sense-6-with-dot-pad/?utm_source=openai))\n\nSo yes, it's very likely that BrailleSense 7 *was shown* or at least previewed at ATIA 2026.\n\n---\n\n### Other new or noteworthy braille-tech to look out for\n\nHere are some additional braille innovations appearing around this time:\n\n- **NERCVE Brailler 2.0** \u2013 Remote braille-training tech aimed at professional development, with features such as interlining, STEM character panels, etc. ([pathlms.com](https://www.pathlms.com/atia/courses/113429?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Dot Inc.** is doing several bold things (though not all are strictly \u201cbraille-hardware\u201d):\n  - Developing an AI-powered Braille practice app called **Dot Explore** for early learning. ([braillists.org](https://www.braillists.org/uncategorised/dot-inc-unveils-innovations-partnerships-at-csun-2026/?utm_source=openai))  \n  - Building tactile and braille-related infrastructure like kiosks using full Dot cell modules. ([braillists.org](https://www.braillists.org/uncategorised/dot-inc-unveils-innovations-partnerships-at-csun-2026/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **SELVAS BLV's BrailleSense 7** also received recognition: it won a design award (iF Design Award 2026) and is described as having features like \u201ctouch-sensitive braille cells,\u201d Android 15, integrated AI with Google Gemini, a user-replaceable battery, and a QWERTY keyboard case. ([braillists.org](https://www.braillists.org/uncategorised/introducing-the-new-smart-braille-tablet-series-braillesense-7/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to track down which booths you can visit at ATIA to test out the BrailleSense 7 and other new braille devices hands-on. Would you like me to pull that together?"
