Giving the blind a look-in.. Meet the Samsung Touch Sight Camera - Tech Digest
Among the many winners announced at the 2008 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), the Samung 'Touch Sight' Camera clearly stands out as a winner of note. A class bit of design genius from the tech-bods at Samsung, the 'Touch Sight' deservedly won the Gold Medal in their Communication Tools (concept) category, and in my opinion, now deserves every bit of free publicity it can get. So, i'm happily doing exactly that. Designed specifically for those with impaired vision, the revolutionary camera allows it's user to take 'pictures' of whatever they like, and like a sort of blind-man's polaroid, it immediately displays the image, not on an LCD screen, but on a raised Braille display sheet on the back of the camera.
