Imagine all of the beautiful visions you’d miss if you were born without sight. Until science figured out a cure for blindness, you would never get to see the blue sky on a clear day or how green the grass can get in the spring. The Bright-F concept hopes to give the blind community a chance to experience different shades and hues based on sound.

The Bright-F detects and translates brightness, saturation, and color into unique sounds. Forget about quality of life. This thing could work wonders for the simplest of tasks, such as sorting laundry into darks and lights. Finally offering the blind a chance to experience color, rather than simply texture. (more…)

And we thought Rubik’s Cube was impossible, even with visual aid. This cube puzzle is made for those without sight, instead relying on touch, rather than color orientation.

Each side has a different pattern which you have to try and align with other same shaped patterns. Having the oppurtunity to say “I solved Rubik’s cube without looking at it once” is also a pretty cool perk. — Andrew Dobrow
