Camera for the Blind


Posted by Funkyguy on August 11, 2008 2:51 PM


Its a self defeating gadget when you first think about it. A camera for the blind would be completely useless considering that they would not be able to admire or appreciate their own art. But if a camera is able to do so, then it would mean removing photogrpahy from the list of skills that the blind are unable to excel at. Its called as the Touch Sight Camera.

This camera records sounds and displays imagery via 3D embossing allowing the person to relive the moment by two other senses, hearing and touch. It includes a unique feature which records sound for three seconds after pressing the shutter button.

Touch Sight does not have an LCD but instead has a lightweight, flexible Braille display sheet which displays a 3D image by embossing the surface, allowing the user to touch the image. The sound file and picture document combine to become a touchable photo that is saved in the device and can be uploaded to share with others--and downloaded to other Touch Sight cameras.
