Sight is a gift most taken for granted, like you reading this post or me typing it. However being blind is no longer a handicap considering the number of aids propping up for easy survival. If it’s not the Jojo, then it could be a portable Braille printer. Designers Guang-Shen Guo and Danni Luo from China have devised the Embossing Braille Printer. This unique portable device has the ability to distinguish items via special embossed labels. I am not very clear about how exactly this thing works because my translation skill are not up to the mark, but it seems worthy enough to pick up the Silver Medal for the 8th Lite-On Awards. The intuitive interface not only prints out Braille labels but also features an audio prompter that repeats whatever is being printed in an electronic voice.
