A new program in Britain is giving expectant parents with sight loss the chance to experience the thrill of a sonogram through touch. The charity Guide Dogs said it launched its First Hello initiative so people with vision impairment are not “excluded from significant life moments.” Participants upload their 20-week, 2D ultrasound, and it’s then turned into a tactile sonogram and mailed back to them, allowing parents to “trace the contours of their baby before they arrive,” said The Independent.
A Taiwanese man who used a robot vacuum cleaner to record evidence of his wife’s infidelity won a civil lawsuit against her, then lost a countersuit over invading her privacy. Footage from the vacuum cam showed the woman getting into bed with another man. Under Taiwanese law, infidelity is a breach of contract, and the husband won $16,000 in damages. His wife’s countersuit accused him of illegally recording her without consent, and he was fined $4,700 and sentenced to five months in prison.
