Chat and reading are also possible for the world's first "Braille tablet": Yasuhiro Yamane's overseas mobile exploration

　Smartphones are becoming more and more convenient, and reading and reading manga are now increasingly using smartphone e -book services instead of paper books.However, it is also true that people other than healthy people can fully use those services.

　For example, visual impairments use recording books and books by Braille printing, but the number is not as many books in bookstores.In addition, it is difficult to carry multiple braises because they are thicker than ordinary books.And it is difficult to skip recording books.

　If everyone can easily use Braille anywhere, visual impaired people will be able to collect information and communicate more smoothly.Therefore, the Korean PCT is developing a "Braille tablet" that can be displayed by moving braille up and down using a pin.

　"Tactile Pro" claims the world's first Braille tablet.There is no ordinary display even though it is a tablet, and the pins moving up and down are lined up.It is said that not only can you display Braille on the top and bottom of this pin, but also the figure and illustrations can be read with your fingertips, and you can read the approximate image with your fingertips.The interval between the pins is 3mm, the height of the pin is 0.It is 3mm.

　Tactile Pro has 10,000 Braille books.If you are a healthy person, you can use e -book services and e -book files on your smartphone or tablet, but visually impaired people cannot carry them easily.However, if a Tactile Pro, which expresses Braille above and below the pin, there is no limit on the number of characters available.

　It is also possible to connect with a PC and Bluetooth, transferring text files to Tactile Pro, converting them into Braille and displayed.If you send photos and diagrams, the contours will be displayed on the Braille screen of Tactile Pro.

　The Tactile Pro also has a Braille input keyboard, and you can create a Braille by pressing the button and send it to another Tactile Pro.In other words, you can chat with Braille between Tactile Pro.In addition, he can do Internet browsing and games.In addition, it has a braille translation function, and it is possible to output Braille in Korean in English in English.

　For visually impaired people, collecting information is mostly relying on ears or fingertips.However, Braille is not very suitable for carrying real -time and large amounts of information.The Tactile Pro has the excellent point that the Braille can be carried anytime, anywhere.It is still under development and detailed specifications such as data communication methods are unknown, but I would like you to release it to the market early.With a Tactile Pro, it's no longer a dream to chat in real time through Braille with a distant opponent.
