Define
Project for inclusive, digital work
The Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland held a do-it-yourself/maker course. Participants with blindness or visual impairments developed their own Braille remote control for smartphones and PCs. Work was carried out using digital manufacturing processes (3D printing) in Vienna's makerspaces (open workshops) from September 2022 to August 2023.
In the process, new forms of digital and inclusive collaboration were developed. Together, we designed prototypes in many small steps.
Do-it-blind (DIB)
We make the maker movement accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. You are invited to our weekly online meetings on Mondays at 7 p.m. in BigBlueButton. Once a month, we meet at metalab and work on our projects.
You can find current project information on our metalab wiki page. You can contact the project's user group and receive the latest invitations via our mailing list dib@lists.metalab.at.
In 2022 and 2023, we implemented the objectives of the Do-it-blind (DIB) project as part of the Define project.
