Dane Stange on Nostr: All right, I know nobody will probably care about this, but I’m thinking about ...
All right, I know nobody will probably care about this, but I’m thinking about tactile vision with a braille display as my next obsession. Has anyone done this yet using something like an ereader or orbit? I bet an orbit would be slow, oh yes it would, but something fast like a humanware quality display would get the job done. It'd be basic, but the point is the camera in realtime would line by line, in sort of stairstep 5 squared I belieofe, 5 4'd, you could make a very weird but, braille and as braille and weird as braille is, it'd make sence maybe or not. I just wish I had another obtweestic braille obsessed blindy to geek out and think concepts with. It’s very simple. First of all, all I would have to do is somehow, well actually it’s very hard, mapping the pixels to braille. The concept is simple, have. BRLTty or something quickly display certain pixels that'd be turned into braille symbols making the shape. Then, it'd just refresh every 2 seconds or more, or less. The whole thing would be opened sourced and runnable on an iPhone which would be who knows how freakin hard that'd be to do. I don't. I will throw this post into chatgpt and see what it says though, that's for sure. I just want it, I want to then have vOICe and visionbraille or whatever we call it running at the same time. Then, I'll have the metaGlasses on for the AI what's around me bullshit, with my other hand touching whatever I need like a cane, and my mouth being it's standard echo locatie batMan vision.
