Never in my life did I think that the day would come that a blind person could have a camera and be able to look at pictures! Well that day has come and the camera is called the Touch Sight Camera. The photographer holds the camera up to their forehead, and a Braille-like screen makes a raised image of whatever the lens sees. It can also record up to three seconds of sound after each image is taken; this makes it possible for the impaired-vision user to search through libraries of their saved photos. This is an amazing invention and I think it is going to be used very often by Vision-impaired individuals. The Touch Sight Camera is very safe for impaired vision users because it allows them to use their braille to figure out what pictures they are looking at!

This invention at first seemed a bit off, but when I read more about it, it is extremely interesting and a wonderful idea. The ability for a person who is vision impaired to be able to use art and mentally create a picture in their head is cool. It is hard to believe this has not been invented sooner, because if you really think about it the concept is not difficult to create! Society could prosper from this invention because I will guarantee if this invention is marketed, the right person will come along and create a masterpiece with it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very incredible and valuable invention. It does sound a little bit more like fantasy but today's technology has done it. This will revolutionize blind peoples' world. Touch Sight camera is very interesting idea. It seems to be a hard invention. I was hoping for science to develop new technology in this field. Now, blind people can scan the world around them and see it. I like this post because this invention helps blind people to be independent. This will affect our community in a huge way. They should start advertising and selling this product. This product is just waiting to be a huge deal.
