In 2008, Alison Victor and Eric Predoehl collaborated to co-produce / co-direct a short documentary about a blind sailor's quest to use technology to see. The film entitled "Ed's Inner Space" premiered at YURI'S NIGHT, a special worldwide event to celebrate the legacy of Yuri Gargarin, the first human being to travel into outer space. Since it's initial release, excerpts of the film have been shown on the OPRAH SHOW, the MORNING SHOW on CBS, and KPIX CBS-5 News.

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.
