While the Amazon Kindle 2 is a fresh take on an e-book reader with its ability to read back books to you, some people who have a visual impairment could use something they can feel rather than hear. That’s the idea behind this concept braille e-book reader. Bumps change on a dynamic surface that can emulate braille, thus bringing a whole new world of reading to the blind.
It’s kinda cruel that they didn’t put “Braille E-Book” in braille.
This product is a copy of my design, which is a very much previous idea, of the year 2006. You can verify the date in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwO8XqcZ5Q0. The BrailleBook is Sergio Trujillo’s original idea, and you must not design anything that already has designed other one before. My design appears in many technological important blogs. It is a plagiarism of my idea, you must admit it publicly. You can see my page of the concept art in http://www.andalux.com/braillebook.
