Braille 2.0 – It’s readable!
Dec 13, 2009
Having recently been contacted by someone interested in testing a few samples of makerbot-made braille, I polished up my previous design and shipped a few pieces off earlier this week. Now, the results are in…. and it seems to be a resounding YES!
He writes: “I am enormously impressed. With my fingernail I can feel where the filaments laid down. With my fingertips though, the dots are correct sized, smooth feeling and comfortable to read. I really think this is professional quality stuff.”
I’ll be talking with him about where to take it from here and about what implications/possibilities this may have (and I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop).
