I am currently doing a project centered around the revolutionary new invention so that the blind can drive. The driver wears gloves that vibrate which way to turn the wheel and the seat vibrates as well to alert the driver when to speed up or slow down. Well now the blind can check the time just as easy and quickly as the rest of the world can.
Before the Haptica Braille Watch, the blind only had two options for wrist wearing watches. What these options lacked were accuracy and privacy.
This watch quite simply displays the 10 digits in braille with the current time. This product is attractive, sleek and easy to use. Those of us who are lucky enough to have sight take for granted just pulling out or cell phones and checking the time without disturbing anyone around us; now the visually impaired have the same luxury. I think that it is great that we are finally coming out with modern equipment to assist the blind in becoming less dependent on those around them.
