Put aside the High-tech solution, the Bradley lets blind people no longer worry about the "watch" table
Kickstarter platform has always been not lack of innovative new products, if you are tired of watching smart watches, perhaps this design for the blind Watch the Bradley can make your eyes bright.
The product consists of a round titanium face dial and a replaceable strap, with no pointers and no digits on the dial. The groove around the center of the Watch has a sphere that is used to denote minutes. The other sphere on the edge of the watch represents the hour. The ball will control the position of the pointer through the magnetic field effect to facilitate the blind person's mastery of time. Even when the touch of accidentally touched the ball, it will automatically return to the original position, to solve the blind "watch" Table of worries.
If you think this watch is a custom-made product for the blind, it is wrong. In a dark environment, for example, the Bradley can know the time without the help of a cell phone or a watch. From the official website of the public data, the price of 128 dollars of the Bradley up to now a total of nearly 600,000 U.S. dollars. The vast majority of users are people with normal eyesight.
The designer of the product mentioned his inspiration from a lecture at MIT in 2011, at that time sat at his next table students have visual impairment, although the student also wear a watch, but only the key after the loud time function, which will affect the classroom order, so had to ask him time. Later, the design team made the first prototype of the watch through Lego blocks, and after a product barrier test, it eventually created an attractive timer.
I remember Apple had such a bridge in Siri's promo that a blind man sat in the woods and opened Siri and asked about the local time and weather. As a High-tech representative, speech recognition is certainly commendable. But the physical way to get the problem back to life is that the product is more respectable.
