Braille Smartwatch
Blind children who were never given the chance to literacy will be able to meet academic standards
Research shows that blind people who are Braille literate have a higher chance of academic success and employment. A text data on a user’s mobile device or any text data stored on the watch will be translated in Braille through Application Braille Translation. 285 million visually impaired people worldwide can learn Braille and become proficient in braille language through accessing a variety of information including education contents, text data, and the bible.
