Hey,
Thank you for appreciation, it’s really important for me especially from people who deep into this theme.
It was a project i graduated with, and i don’t have any investments so it would be rather difficult to finish it off. ecouse no one even interested in it)
Probably i’ll do it just for myself, and i’ll keep your remarks in mind, thanks for them. But, anyway most likely it will never be realized.

Hey,

It is indeed a great design for the blind, when they go out. I can image there are lots of stuff you should finish, hardware, tactile map, gps data, audio information,bluetooth connection,etc… Have you finish all of those functions? I am also working on tactile map right now. Here is a large project by Germany government for tactile device,http://www.hyperbraille.de/presse/.
Hope hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Thank you for the link, really smart concept.

As for your qestion: yes, it was quiet difficult to find the balance between dimension and efficiency. I can’t say that this project has elaborated researching base. The only thing i could afford was permanent consulting with the blind person i know by myself. It allowed me to test some moot points.

This is an interesting idea, especially because of the moving membrane technology that provides live tactical feedback. I’ve been working on a concept for people with low vision (although it could be used by other people who need navigation assistance). See my portfolio page http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?individual_id=192057&set_id=298692&

I’m interested to know your reasoning behind choosing the size of your form, as using a braille map seems to be rather cumbersome. What are some of your findings from research?

Cheers

Cool, but kind of seems like selling a GPS to a blind person, how are they supposed to know if theyre off course or not? i know if i make one small mistake with my gps it freaks out and keeps telling me to make a u-turn as soon as possible, even when i know im going the right way
