The Blind Reader
As technology advances, we often forget innovation can sometimes leave specific people behind. For years, the blind could only read using braille and with the help of screen-readers. Togo design has taken it upon themselves to create a device that could potentially revolutionize the way blind people read.
The Blind Reader Bridge looks like a wand you hold and pass over text. The device scans and translates the text into braille onto the screen using a series of electromagnetic stitches. The information can even be stored to be read later.
