We have produced inscriptions that are accessible to people with blindness and visual impairments for the exhibition IMAGINE: Coral Reef. Regenerative Design #make #blind #inclusion oskars.org/en/posts/exhibition…

3D printed descriptions for an exhibition. The lettering is white on a black background. The text is presented in Braille and tactile print. The signs lie on a parquet floor

Description of Metabraille
Metabraille is a mobile Braille keyboard. This keyboard can be used to control smartphones and PCs remotely via Bluetooth. It is designed for use and installation by people with visual impairments or blindness. Metabraille was developed in a participatory design thinking process. During implementation, people with visual impairments or blindness were given access to Make(r)spaces and digital manufacturing techniques.

Description of open source hardware
Open source design enables the production of customized small batches, such as those needed for aids for people with disabilities. These require a high degree of creativity and customization, which is often not sufficiently covered by industrial mass production. By sharing knowledge, individual needs can be addressed, these collaborations enable a more efficient and less recourse-intensive way of meeting individual needs. The CERN-OHL-S-2.0+ license used for this project allows the use, study, improvement, imitation and exploitation of the hardware and its blueprints. It requires attribution to preserve the work as public domain. This enables collaborative design and resource-efficient, local production.
