Sometimes it's easy to forget that even the simplest tasks are made extremely hard for those who are impaired in various ways, so Virgile Thevoz's measuring jug for the blind is a great design.
In order to measure the proper amounts for liquid ingredients in recipes, Virgile Thevoz's measuring jug makes use of a "Braille graduated ruler rises to keep check on the quantity," according to The Design Blog. This ensures that those who are visually impaired can still cook delicious meals.
