Smartwatch for the blind

[jos]

Dot, has come up with the world’s first braille smartwatch and it’s pretty spectacular. The display on the smartwatch can impress up to four braille characters at a time and the user has full control over how fast those characters are presented to them. The Dot does exactly what you would expect from a smartwatch, keeps time, does navigation, has Bluetooth, text messaging and an alarm. Battery life is said to be 10 hours of active refreshing, or the equivalent of five days of use.

 

 

Looks cool.. I feel this as one of the best usage of smartwatch..

Very cool design though!

a smart watch actually makes sense for a blind person, they no where it is at all times as well as its orientations. vibrations can be felt with ease. i can see it being a very viable way for a blind person to have the ability to be contacted and to contact people easily.

That's actually really cool, I know someone who I could "show" this to, they'd be really interested in it.

If this works for iPhones I'm definitely going to show this to one of my blind friends.
