Everyone knows that people have lost their eyesight, but not lost their attraction to books, he can read through Braille. However, very few people reflect on the fact that the transfer of the text in the format of “convex points” a very laborious exercise.
Creating books for the blind is serious circulation unprofitable because of the high cost of special printing equipment, so to find a modern piece of art in the “Braille“. In nature, there are special printers for personal printing in such a font, but in our country of such devices are too small to meet even the minimum demands.
Many satisfied audio book, the benefit of their range in recent years is growing not by days but by hours. However, for the people, compensating the absence of one of the main channels of perception of the world are left with, is very important to feel it is a convex text, page after page own hands.
It is therefore very much like to see development team concept device for reading electronic books using Braille (Braille E-Book) was able to bring their offspring to the stage of the real sample. Use of technology is somewhat similar to the e-ink control signal to the desired point attracts colorful capsules (beads volume) that are fixed in the near to the user (flexible?).
Designers Seon-Keun Park, Byung-Min Woo, Sun-Hye Woo and Jin-Sun Park, they created the Braille ebook a gadget specially designed for the blind, he uses a technology called CSS that can dynamically change the surface pattern (screen Gadget) by means of an electromagnetic signal.
Great! There are few books translated into Braille, since the costs are high (when translating a book of 500 pages almost doubles its thickness).
We can only hope that this concept will be real
