TouchSight: The Camera For the Blind

Aug 14 2008 - 1:00pm

It's wonderful that electronics designers are starting to take disabilities into consideration — even if they first start with a hack, like that Rock Band mod for wheelchairs [1].

This concept design is a camera — for the blind. Called the TouchSight [2], it would utilize Braille and the other senses to both take photos and then download them later.

While the TouchSight is only a concept now, it was designed by someone from Samsung China — a company that knows a few things about cameras, so there's actual hope for this idea to come to fruition.
