smkelly··on Show HN: Ever wanted to look at yourself in Braille?
This does not look like Braille to me. Braille is a system that uses cells composed of six (or eight) dots. This is just dots strewn all over the place.

Reminds me of this relatively new device in the space though: https://store.humanware.com/hca/monarch-the-1st-dynamic-tact...

Very curious why you'd take this approach over something like the Boston Keratoprosthesis (https://eyewiki.org/Boston_Type_1_Keratoprosthesis). With a history of cornea rejection, mine has been stable for almost 16 years.

Anirudh Koul, the Seeing AI founder, also recently left Microsoft to go work at Aira.io: https://aira.io/anirudh-koul-joins-aira-as-head-of-artificia...

Aira is trying to integrate this kind of technology into smart glasses for the blind.

There is also a paid service that does similar to this, except the assistance is provided by trained agents. I have the service and have found it to be invaluable in the few times I've actually needed to use it. I still have some vision, so it actually makes it harder to decide to use the service.

The paid service is http://aira.io. I'm glad BME exists too though, as there are a lot of blind people that currently can't afford Aira. The unemployment rate for blind people is something like a staggering 70%.

Also, could we please add some form of accessibility? As somebody who is visually impaired, microwaves win for least accessible devices in my life. The non-tattle buttons are near impossible to use. We just got a new microwave at home and the buttons even seem to be capacitive so it is even harder to use.

We encountered this the other week. I didn't realize this was even a thing up until I saw it happen. It is sort of mind-boggling that they allow this. It was confusing to troubleshoot.
