This Braille translation printer and scanner concept design by Kyung-ho Jang was inspired by that Korean fairytale, The Story of Sim Cheong. The concept design is a brilliant little piece of technology which comes in the form of a compact printer and scanner. In addition to operating as a standard printer and scanner, it also acts as a Braille translation printer and scanner since it will translate text into Braille. This could be a whole new way for the visually impaired to engage and interact with others on a much more social level.
Imagine how wonderful it would be for someone who is blind to be able to read a flat piece of paper. You could put a piece of paper (with writing on it) in this machine, and it would come out the other side in Braille. I can’t think of a better way for Braille translation when it comes to printed documents and letters. I can remember back when fax machines were introduced in the world. Everyone freaked out and within a matter of months, it seemed like almost all businesses had one. I bet this Braille translation printer and scanner would make just as big of a stir in the visually impaired community. Even simple every day things like reading an email in a fast and easy way by simply printing it would suddenly be possible. I hope it becomes a reality real soon. This would bring a lot of happiness to the world. [via]
