iBraille - An Arduino based Assistive Technology for the Blind

Braille system was developed to eradicate the darkness of visually impaired people and make them gain knowledge for proper interaction with the World. It provides a new opportunity for blind individuals to learn and communicate more effectively with the rest of the World. In Assistive Technology, software-based text-to-Braille translation has proven to be a viable option. This paper presents a communicator, a hardware setup that helps visually challenged people to communicate, among others. The work aims to eliminate the divide between blind users and end-users in telecommunications and make them more robust by providing them with the total enhancements for interaction with others and servicing their necessities. A methodology is designed to create a Braille system that will enable vision-impaired people to communicate and engage.
