Siafu: A new concept PC for the blind
Siafu is a new kind of personal computer intended to provide computer access to those who have a vision impairment or similar handicap. Using a touch-sensitive surface filled with a magnetized liquid, which is called Magneclay, Siafu provides reading materials in the form of braille, and it even has the ability to render images in 3D relief.
The key to making this device work will be Magneclay, the morphing magnetized liquid that is supposed to be able to take the shape of anything, from braille text to the 3D rendering of web pages being accessed by the user. It comes with a 9-button braille keyboard that users can use to input text, and they can easily review what they’ve written just by sliding their hands over to the tablet’s transforming surface. It also has a built-in microphone that works with Siafu’s voice recognition software, intended as a great alternative to the already seemingly amazing touch interface.
