Tvm: Technopark, Trivandrum based mobile application developer
company, Schogini Systems has launched a talking Chess Board and a
talking Chess App for visually challenged. In their efforts to empower
the blind, the company has also launched applications like Coloring
App and Seeing Apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Schogini also
announced the appointment of Mohammed Salih, a blind by birth, as
their Brand Ambassador - Intelligent Interfaces’.
Interacting with the media, N Sree Prakash, Managing Director,
Schogini Systems said,
“We realised that there is an absence of computer games for the
visually challenged and this prompted us to launch the speaking
version of the chess game and other apps which will help them. We are
probably the first IT company in Kerala to employ a blind person. By
the way, the talking chess game can be played by any person.”
In his role as the brand ambassador, Salih would take intelligent
gaming strategies to teens and youngsters who are reading less and
spending more time in front of a computer or on mobile phones and are
fast turning addicts to dumb and blood-thirsty games. The idea is to
lure them back through technology by making brain-engaging strategy
games for them rather than war strategy games.
Ram Kamal, Director, Chakshumathi, an empowerment and assertive
technology centre for blind, said, “Schogini has taken a bold and
unique initiative by employing Salih and launching such apps. This
should encourage more IT companies to employ visually challenged
persons and also develop applications that will empower them. There
are many visually challenged persons who are highly skilled and
trained in IT but they are not getting placements.”
Schogini Systems is based at the Leela Infopark in Technopark campus.
The company’s expertise is in Physics, 2D, Game Centre / Multi-Player
based Apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone platforms. Schogini
Systems is ISO 9001-2008 Certified for Software Development and
Customer support.
