Electronic Braille reader for the web

Electronic Braille reader for the webWe all take our sight for granted and tend to forget how fortunate we are that we can experience an entire visual existence that those with no sight will never know. For the blind, content on the web is like a giant gaping void that they have no way of navigating. Monitors are useless for conveying info to the blind. They basically live in a different world just parallel to our own. One that we will never know.

Thanks to this Electronic Braille Reader that converts web content to Braille, the blind can finally get a taste of what we have been experiencing on the web. Check out a video below.

It’s the first braille display that rotates, allowing text to be read continuously. This is an awesome invention. At last they can get in on all the web fun.
