Metabraille is a mobile Braille keyboard. This keyboard can be used to remotely control iOS and Android smartphones as well as PCs via Bluetooth. The assembly is designed for people with visually impairements or blindness. Metabraille was developed in a participatory design thinking process as part of the Define project.

Metabraille and the Define project are described in German in a youtube video.

Rosetta

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Rosetta is a 3D-printable alphabet for people who are blind or visually impaired to learn cursive writing. Rosetta consists of a Braille alphabet, tactile block letters, and cursive letters in upper and lower case. The tactile alphabets are generated using OpenSCAD scripts and our tactile labelmaker "Define Beschriftung". The idea and development came from our [Do-it-blind group (DIB)](/projects/do-it-blind).

The sources have been published in our repository.

We published the model on Thingiverse for printing.
