“Books are the ladder of human progress.”

However, for many people with visual impairments, this ladder has often been blocked by invisible barriers.

In an era of rapidly expanding information, being unable to read like everyone else means facing difficulties in accessing knowledge, pursuing education, and participating equally in society.

On May 21, during the 2026 Chongqing Assistive Technology Needs Matching and Experience Interaction Session of the China Western Cooperation and Investment Fair, Cao Xiuxiu, Co-founder of Wiltrue (Chongqing Infinite Horizons Co., Ltd.), presented an answer with a black refreshable Braille display.

As visually impaired visitors touched the device, the tiny metal pins on its surface rapidly moved up and down, producing precise mechanical movements and transforming the silent digital world into a stream of tactile information.

Together with her team, Cao Xiuxiu is using advanced accessibility technology to break down the barriers between people with visual impairments and the wider world.

For her, Wiltrue’s mission goes far beyond creating hardware devices. It is about:

“Enabling accessible reading and making knowledge without boundaries and the future without limits.”

Technology Should Create Equal Access to Information

Cao Xiuxiu believes that people with visual impairments do not lack the ability or the desire to participate in society — what they need are equal channels to access information.

Through technology, Wiltrue aims to reduce the digital divide and ensure that knowledge is no longer limited by vision.

This, she believes, is the true meaning of technology-enabled accessibility.

From Braille displays to smart mobility devices and tactile voice power banks, Wiltrue continues focusing on real-life challenges faced by visually impaired users.

Every product begins with a simple question:

“What barriers prevent people from living more independently?”

Helping People Step Outside: From Information Isolation to Equal Reading

“Our core product philosophy is simple and firm: we hope people with visual impairments can step outside their homes and live lives just like everyone else.”

When discussing the original motivation behind product development, Cao Xiuxiu explained that although accessibility infrastructure has continued to improve, many visually impaired people still face a serious challenge — an “information island.”

Physical accessibility is only one part of inclusion.

True inclusion also requires access to information, education, and digital resources.

Through accessible technology, Wiltrue hopes to help visually impaired users move from information isolation toward independent learning, working, and participating in society.

科技助残·西洽会专场｜指尖破壁，触见“无界”——一块盲文点显器背后的科技助残之路

“书籍是人类进步的阶梯”，然而对于视障群体而言，这架阶梯往往被无形的高墙阻断。在信息爆炸的时代，无法像常人一样阅读，意味着难以平等地获取知识、参与竞争。5月21日，在2026年重庆市科技助残需求对接暨体验互动西洽会专场活动现场，重庆无界启航创新科技有限公司（以下简称“无界启航”）合伙人曹秀秀，用一台黑色的实体盲文点显器给出了答案。随着视障参观者的指尖划过，装置表面的金属针脚迅速升降，发出清脆的机械声响，将无声的数字世界转化为可触摸的信息洪流。她和团队正试图用这项硬核技术，打破视障群体与世界之间的那堵墙。

在她看来，无界启航的使命远不止于制造冷冰冰的硬件，而是“让他们能够实现无障碍的阅读，实现知识无界、未来无界”。曹秀秀认为，视障人士缺的不是生活的权利，而是平等获取信息的渠道。通过技术手段消弭数字鸿沟，让知识的获取不再受限于视力，这才是科技助残的真正意义。她强调，从盲文点显器到智能牵引绳、盲文充电宝等一系列实体周边产品，团队始终聚焦视障人士生活中的每一个真实痛点。而“走出家门”不仅是物理空间的移动，更是心理层面的破壁——让视障群体能够自信地参与到社会生活中来。让盲人走出家门——从“信息孤岛”到“平等阅读”

“我们研发的核心逻辑非常简单且坚定：希望盲人能够走出家门，过上普通人的生活。”谈及产品设计初衷，曹秀秀开门见山地说道，虽然社会在无障碍环境建设上不断进步，但视障群体依然面临着严重的“信息孤岛”困境。https://www.cqnews.net/web/content_1508779505066643456.html
