trailer for ED'S INNER SPACE

This is a trailer for ED'S INNER SPACE, a film that tells the story of Ed Gallagher, a blind man that uses space age technology to interact in a world of visual stimuli.

Ed Gallagher was a visual artist until he slowly lost his sight over 8 years. Inspired by space technology, Ed Gallagher developed the Genoa remote guidance system for the blind using wireless internet technology to communicate with a remote operator. Receiving clear commands from someone viewing Ed's world through his head mounted web cam, Ed, as a blind man, is able to participate in every day tasks, such as shopping, sailing and riding a bicycle.

An earlier version of this film was premiered at Yuri's Night, an international celebration of science, art, technology, and the creative spirit, honoring Yuri Gargarin, the first human to travel into outer space and orbit planet Earth.
