Book Reading Made Haptic And Easy For The Blind
The Haptic Braille is a mouse-like device that’s capable of translating ordinary text into braille on its surface. This means that the blind can read virtually anything the sighted can. The technology uses optical character recognition. Simply skim it over any text and wait for the haptic feedback. I like how you can pocket and carry it over to the library. Just imagine how many books literally become available at your fingertips. Splendid!
The Haptic Braille is a 2010 Red Dot Concept Design winning entry by Samsung Art & Design Institute student.
Designer: Baek Kil Hyun

Niebr says
absolutely awesome! a must have for any visually impaired person,
johan says
good invention but with out some sort of guide for the actual device to properly move across the text. they would just end up reading nonsense.
Mark says
Johan is right of course. It's a wonderful idea, but inherently doomed to failure. It would be great if you could store 'e-books' on here but, so that they cold carry this round and 'read' while on the bus, or even at home. The titles could come up as braile, and they could skip titles, pause, slow/speed up rate etc etc. The battery life would be very long with no screen, and the memory capacity would be massive not having to worry about visual data
