Touchable Pen

Pen for visually impaired people

Touchable Pen is a writing instrument designed for the visually impaired. Raised Braille dots are printed when the nib touches any surface. It subverts traditional Braille writing, transforming subtractive manufacturing into additive manufacturing, and reverse writing into forward writing. The Touchable Pen uses low-cost technology to improve both the equity and efficiency of the writing experience for blind people.

JURY STATEMENT

"This is an excellent design that gives blind people the pleasure and utility of writing, recording, and presenting to their heart's content. The idea of incorporating traditional braille writing into an affordable 3D printing pen is great."

WINNER STATEMENT

Thanks for the judge's affirmation of our design work and we are greatly honored to receive the IF DESIGN TALENT AWARD 2022. We expect our project can further spread the inclusive and equal concept and let more people pay attention to this field.
