Haptica Braille Watch
The Haptica is a fine prototype of a Braille watch. The sight-impaired user gets an accurate reading by four groups of 4 dials made of dots on disks that only partially are displayed.

Now all they need is a cheaper version, because that one certainly doesn’t look it.

This is what I love to see—people putting their brainpower towards solving problems like these… anything we can do to help those less fortunate lead better lives. I hope this makes it to the market soon as well, as it can really make a difference…

I just wanted to know whether this design had been brought to market yet and if you have a manufacturer?

This is very cool stuff. The visually impaired would be proud to own such a devise.

to tell the truth, i have wondered about how the blind would use a watch.
this is a fine example of a genious mind at work, the one that uses their intelligence for purpose instead of silly little collectors items
