VibroBraille Hybrid

VibroBraille bridges the gap between digital content and tactile accessibility. Unlike traditional screen readers that rely on audio, VibroBraille utilizes the smartphone's haptic engine to deliver "tactile sentences," allowing users to read in noisy environments or with complete privacy.

The Challenge

Reading physical or digital documents as a visually impaired individual often requires expensive hardware or intrusive audio feedback. VibroBraille aims to democratize access by using standard smartphone hardware.

Engineering Highlight: Haptic Relay

The system features a PC-to-Mobile relay that processes text logic on a high-compute backend and streams haptic actuation signals to the mobile device. This ensures that even complex NLP processing (like text simplification) doesn't drain the mobile battery or introduce latency.

Impact

Designed with a "Braille-First" philosophy, the system focuses on the rhythmic patterns of language, translating semantic density into vibration pulses that are intuitive for Braille readers.
