The ability to learn Braille is invaluable for those who have severe vision loss or blindness. It is the only reliable method of literacy for blind persons because it enables them to read and write and can be substituted for print in most circumstances. Through the use of simple circuitry electronics a tool could be produced to aid or function as the primary tool for the process of learning Braille. The tool must have a battery operated mechanism and have the ability to play some form of sound or music. The product should be suited to those who have lost there sight later in life through whatever circumstances. The situation is competitive with a variety of Braille learning devices already present in the market place. However few if any at all exist that are electronics based. The project aims to develop an entirely new electronics based product aimed at the increasing number of blind or severely partially sighted. The customer, who may typically be buying the product for someone else, may have little experience in this area so attention to detail is important. A concept that has ‘wow’ factor is therefore also required.
