The students of Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET) have developed a Braille system that works on the basis of micro-controller. The Micro-controller-based Braille system is a tactile communication mode that uses the mobile and other mechanical devices to enable visually handicapped children or adults to read from a portable device.
According to details revealed, the system's component parts include a Portable Braille Pad, a control unit and a Mobile.
The system developers claimed that current cell technology is expensive but their project researched less costly alternatives resulting in the development of own cell using solenoids.
