| Touch Sight is a digital camera for visually impaired people. 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. One of the 2008 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) winners. |
