Based on the 1996 short story titled “Baster” by Jeffrey Eugeniges, is the charming romantic comedy The Switch staring Jennifer Aniston & Jason Bateman. The National Federation of the Blind’s Blind Driver Challenge-an innovative effort to create a nonvisual interface that empowers a blind person to operate an automobile-received the 2010 Application of the Year Award at the National Instruments Graphical System Design Achievement Awards ceremony held during the NIWeek annual conference in Austin, Texas. In response to a challenge issued by the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) , students and researchers at Virginia Tech - using National Instruments (NI) technology - developed a semi-autonomous vehicle that allows a blind driver to successfully navigate, control speed, and avoid collision while traversing a closed driving course. Reliance Mobile has announced the launch of Braille Bill service.

In 1995, Pixar Animation and Disney Studios teamed up to tell their first story about talking toys and 15 years later with one only installment in-between, most of the toys are back in, Toy Story 3.
