TouchSight: The Camera For the Blind


Updated 08/19/08 8:23 AM · Posted by GeekSugar · 7 comments

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.

This concept design is a camera — for the blind. Called the TouchSight, 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.
