VIBUG's mission is:

• To exchange information and advice among visually impaired technology users
• To expand computer literacy within the visually impaired community
• To provide a resource for community members, developers, and students who are interested in developing mainstream and/or adaptive products to be used by blind people

To further these objectives, VIBUG is engaged in the following activities:

• Conducts monthly meetings on the second Saturday of the month, excluding July, August, and January, at MIT, (77 Massachusetts Avenue, Building 5, room 134, Cambridge)
• Maintains an archive of classes, demonstrations, and Q and A sessions which can be listened to or downloaded by the public
• A technical support email list for members
• An option for members to join meetings and to participate in real time online

The highlights of each meeting include:

• A demonstration of the use of mainstream and/or adaptive technology that can be productively used with speech, braille, or large print
• A question and answer period where Meeting attendees can get assistance with technological challenges
