Not surprising at all : Chinese designer Chueh Lee over at Samsung China who
designed ?Touch Sight? camera , touted as the "world's first camera for the
visually-challenged", has won worldwide raves, not to mention a lot of
exuberant media hype.
Chueh notes:
?Touch Sight is a revolutionary digital camera designed for visually impaired
people. Simple features make it easy to use, including a unique feature which
records sound for three seconds after pressing the shutter button. The user can
then use the sound as reference when reviewing and managing the photos. Touch
Sight does not have an LCD but instead has a lightweight, flexible Braille
display sheet which displays a 3D image by embossing the surface, allowing the
user to touch their photo. The sound file and picture document combine to
become a touchable photo that is saved in the device and can be uploaded to
share with others?and downloaded to other Touch Sight cameras.?
The camera is positioned at the individual's forehead, more like positioned at
the "third eye", with simple functionalities. Chueh also maintains that the
visually-impaired will have no trouble as to sensing distances and figuring out
lighting, since they will be using their non-visual senses.
Chueh further says: "Their sense of hearing is especially sharp, every rustle
of wind in the trees catches their attention and can be used to judge
distances. Other senses come into play as well. The heat of the sun or a lamp
in a living room, for example, signals a direct source of light. They regularly
use their non-visual senses to feel the world and manifest it into a mental
photograph.?
