The South Korean company Dot, has developed a new smartwatch, which will revolutionize the lives of millions of blind and visually impaired people in the world. This is a watch whose screen is actually a system to read Braille.
The Braille display is dynamic and will display 4 characters at a time, to the rhythm of "return" of small interactive points. The smartwatch is a far cry from what is happening now, but on the other hand it offers the same functionality.
The smartwatch Dot has four sets of six points up and down at a speed of 100 times per second in order to display four Braille characters simultaneously. The pace can be easily modulated, if users do not read braille at this speed. The watch allows you to view time, text messages, notifications, instructions, view alarms, etc.
Eric Yoon Ju Kim, CEO and co-founder of Dot expressed to the press, evoking the visually impaired, "Dot can be their lifeline so they can learn Braille and access daily information through their fingers, which is the goal of Braille literacy", justifying his remarks by saying: "90% of blind people become after the birth, and there is nothing for them now - they lose their access to information so suddenly."
Dot is the first smartwatch specially designed for the visually impaired, attention that should delight all users of this niche. Eric Kim Yoon Ju took an example of the daily life of a blind man: "For example, until now, if you have a message on your iOS girlfriend, you had to listen to the assistant Siri to read aloud This is impersonal" or even annoying in some cases if the user was not alone. Smartwatch With this it will be possible to read the message in its intimacy.
The watch Dot will be marketed in December to a price of around $300 and will be a test, and then democratize this technology on all everyday appliances such as ovens, microwaves, coffee makers, vending machines, etc.
