Digital Braille Watch
Project Overview
In order to determine the time, the visually impaired currently depend on audio or tactile analog watches. However, audible watches are disruptive, while the analog tactile watches are often difficult to read and fragile. Our goal was to develop a digital Braille watch that would efficiently display the time without the issues of the current technologies. This watch would display military time, be accurate and reliable, and utilize the standard Braille numerals. We have developed a prototype that meets the project specifications; however, many improvements such as adding a power source, reducing circuitry, standardizing braille dimensions, and increasing the durability of the prototype need to be accomplished in future.
