Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming. This is a new smartwatch with a braille interface for users without sight. What's even better is how beautiful the hardware is, even though users can't see it. Care and attention to detail to the max.

That watch is solving a problem that doesn't exist for me as a blind person. They had plans for a sub $1000 braille display. That would have solved something. Not this. And can you be a little led ableist? Only 10% of blind people have zero vision.

@glennsorrentino
Also, only a relative small percentage of blind people are braille literate.

@anantagd @glennsorrentino Nobody is ableist' here and neither were people generalized in the original post. You're creating problems and accusations out of thin air.

"It's a beautifully looking device, of course this is meaningless to blind people." See above. The entire fixation on technology in this case is due to #ableism. Blindness is a spectrum. Acting as if this device solves any problem for blind people is ridiculous. I've been following this co ever since they made a lot of noise about a refreshable braille display that never materialized. And now they have their watch that no one can ever buy.

@Natanox
Also you're blindsplaining accessibility to me.

@anantagd That was never said in this way anywhere. You're changing a quote so it can be exaggerated, making it sound like ableism. Stop this.

@anantagd @glennsorrentino Lol yeah sure, because I mentioned accessibility in my post so often, aside from criticizing you spouting accusations senselessly.
You're just a jerk looking for trouble.
