Digital Camera for the Blind

These people are serious. A camera for the blind ranks right up there with the solar flashlight and helicopter ejector seat. It would be wrong of me to ask if this was invented in Poland, so I won't. Here is the link at MaximumPC.com.

New Camera for the Blind Looks Outta Sight
by Paul Lilly

There are all kinds of gadgets and gizmos and for the visually impaired, and thanks to designer Chueh Lee at Samsung China, those who can't see might soon be able to take pictures. The Touch Sight camera doesn't come with an LCD, instead displaying snapshots as a three-dimensional image by embossing the surface of a built-in Braille display.

Visually impaired photographers are advised to hold the camera up
against their forehead, similar to having a third eye, as the best way
to stabilize and aim the camera.
