It can't be accurately measured how profound of an impact Braille has had on the blind community all over the world. Braille is their universal way to see. The revolutionary innovation has sparked so many different ideas on how to enhance the quality of life for someone who can't see all of its beauty. These 22 Braille innovations are truly a blessing.
Implications - Blind members of society do not get to experience many things that people with sight can. By creating innovations that help the blind such as braille e-books and tattoos for the blind, companies are managing to become more inclusive and prove and understanding of the needs of the blind.
