Out of 285 million visually impaired people, not many are able to afford it and it’s hefty to carry around. This project presents the making of Pocket Braille Keyboard-Reader of less cost, around 100$, and more compact in size. Principle technologies used are capacitive touch sensing and MEMs (Micro-Electrical Mechanical systems) for typing and reading respectively, which will be assisting the visually impaired people to interact with the world.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ex: Reading and typing in Braille Language, interacting with SMART phone with NAVIGATION keys on the Keyboard.</p> ER -
