We previously brought you Rubik's Cube for the blind, but here is an updated and more stylish cube for those who are without sight.
The Rubik's Cube for the blind is a game that is shape-oriented instead of the traditional color-oriented cube. If you thought solving the Rubik's cube was hard, try doing it by touch only. Instead of using hand-eye coordination, the Rubik's cube for the blind promotes the use of hand-mind coordination.
Implications - Businesses that tailor their products so that a variety of individuals can use them will appeal to a wide audience. Consumers who endure a particular condition or disease will reward those businesses that omit this in the product and consumer interaction.
